Community Action IW is reaching out to Isle of Wight residents to gather input for a potential Community Research Network.
The initiative aims to explore ways to connect residents with research opportunities and resources, fostering a vibrant community-driven research culture on the Island.
Share your thoughts
If you’re interested in shaping the development of this network, you can contribute by completing a survey or arranging a discussion with the organisers.
The survey covers various topics, including personal experiences with research and what you would like a Community Research Network to offer.
Key areas of focus
Community Action IW is keen to hear ideas about potential activities the network could support. These include:
- Opportunities to participate in research projects
- Talks on research happening across the Island
- Influencing research priorities
- Support to carry out personal research projects
- Training in research methods
There’s also an emphasis on creating connections—whether with clinical researchers, universities, or peer researchers—to encourage collaboration and shared learning.
