The Principles of Research and Collaboration (PRC) was designed to support research teams as they decide how they would like to work together. Some researchers use it from the very beginning—as they are setting up the team—while others wait until they know their project is funded. Whichever the case, it’s important to note that this document is meant to change according to the needs of the research project and the team over time. We suggest that teams re-visit the PRC annually in multi-year projects, for example.

You have been invited to join a research team so that you can contribute to the process in a meaningful way. This may be a new experience, so here are some things to expect and some tips for ensuring you and the research team are able to get the most out of your involvement.

People who have been doing research for a while and coordinators of research teams may use a lot of words or acronyms that are new to you. It’s great to familiarize yourself with AHA Centre jargon (special words used that may be unfamiliar to the public) and acronyms so that you have an easier time understanding who or what is being talked about in research team discussions.
