Involvement from the field plays a critical role in the success of the Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center (MSKTC). Periodically, we recruit individuals with spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and burn injury and their family members to participate in MSKTC activities. Here is a listing of our current recruitment initiatives:
MSKTC Recruiting Participants for TBI Consumer Factsheet Testing
MSKTC is recruiting individuals with TBI and their caregivers to provide feedback on two new factsheets entitled, "Social Skills After Traumatic Brain Injury" and "Loss of Smell and Taste After Traumatic Brain Injury." To be eligible, participants must be at least 18 years old.
Interviews will last approximately 60 minutes. Participants will receive $25 for their time. Call 202-403-5600 or email msktc@air.org to register.
Recruiting Registered Nurses of Individuals with SCI, TBI, and/or Burn Injury
MSKTC is conducting interviews with registered nurses (RNs) who provide care and services to individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and/or burn injury. Answers from the interviews will be used for research purposes to better understand (a) the health information needs of RNs who provide care and services for such injuries and (b) their participation in research studies. To be eligible to participate, RNs must meet the following criteria:
• Must have provided services and care to patients with SCI, TBI, and/or burn injury in post-acute rehabilitation settings in the past 5 years
• Must have 5 or more years of experience treating these injuries
Interviews will last approximately 60 minutes. Participants will receive $125 for their time.
