Patient Partner Compensation Guidelines
Patients hold a vital role in patient-oriented research teams. Depending on their interest, skills, and available time, patient research partners can be essential collaborators to research priority setting, grant funding applications, study design, data collection, data analysis, knowledge translation, sharing of results, and evaluation. In this document, we suggest how patient partners can be recognized financially for the essential lived experience and other expertise they bring to POR projects.

Land Acknowledgment
The Alberta SPOR SUPPORT Unit operates on and acknowledges the lands that are the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Métis Nation of Alberta. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We make this acknowledgment as a reaffirmation of our shared commitment towards reconciliation, and as part of AbSPORU’s mandate towards fostering health system transformation.
