Questions:

 

Who will be the Co-PI on the HREB application?

 

Can this interview research qualify for expidited review?  Can we make a case for minimal risk?

 

Am I considered a "researcher from another insitution"?  p. 5

 

Can I use a "recruitment aid" (p. 6) such as an ad in a newsletter or a web page?  I need to figure out how to recruite citizens to interview and then invite to a focus group.

Health Canada may be interestred in a project with emergency preparedness within the first nations. This is an example of dissonance in risk peceptions and belief systems. Aboriginal groups require are a very difficult group to carry out research. Malcolm King in the faculty of Medcine at the U of A has a good reputation and was interested in broaching this area.

 

 

Would this be too much to try to do?  I would like to include as many social groups as possible in the study, to get a good view of the citizen stakeholders who would be part of the communciation model.  Should I email Dr. King and see if he is interested in helping?

As far as funding, some of these projects are within the scope of Capital Health pandemic planning and we will request internal support
