Engagement of People with Lived Experience of Dementia (EPLED) is a program of the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA), a pan-Canadian research network.

We aim to engage persons with dementia and care partners in CCNA research -not as study subjects, but as collaborators in planning, conducting and communicating research. In doing so, we believe it will make our research better and more relevant.

Your Role

As a member of the Advisory Group, you will participate in monthly virtual meetings (on Zoom) as well as one annual in-person meeting (in Canada) each year. There are also separate project specific virtual meetings depending on your level of involvement. You will be compensated for travel and offered a yearly honorarium for your participation. You will receive training for the role, including a general orientation to lived experience in research and CCNA.

During meetings, you may hear from CCNA researchers and have an opportunity to ask questions and offer your feedback and insights, such as by:

  • Providing input on research questions and study design

  • Reviewing study documents

  • Interpreting data and giving context to results

  • Assisting with knowledge mobilization
