The project investigated the public and community involvement landscape in Australian healthcare research and used existing resources to aid the development of guidelines specifically for genomic research.
Unlike many guidelines, Involve Australia built its guidelines from the community member perspective. This allowed community members to highlight what they need if they are to continue to be involved in research. Ensuring their needs are built into genomic researchers’ involvement strategies before projects begin provides a standard for other fields of healthcare research. Ultimately, this will improve patients’ journeys towards better health.STARDIT ID:

Inputs
Involve Australia Working Group (8)
Task: Scoping review: • Provided feedback on what types of data should be extracted. • Provided resources for inclusion in review. • Undertook data extraction for cross-checking purposes. • Several working group members will review | Health perceptions survey: • Provided feedback on survey questions and data to be collected. • Testing survey. • Assisted with survey data analysis (quantitative and qualitative). • Assisted with recruitment by emailing survey invitations to their networks. | Key informant interviews: • Provided feedback on interview questions. • Assisted with recruitment by emailing interview invitations to their networks. | Working group discussions and meetings: • Members attended monthly formal working group meetings via videoconferencing • Informed of project updates • Provided feedback on key documents and outputs of the project. Other tasks: • Working group members co-presented to researcher network meetings
Method: Monthly formal working group meetings with project updates and time for discussion and feedback on key documents.
Communication: Online synchronous meetings (video/tele conference) | Online shared documents | Online asynchronous discussion | Tracked changes and comments in static documents
Compensation: honourarium
Impact: Original timeline stated that we would develop, evaluate and pilot the guidelines within the three-year grant. Involving community members lengthened this process, however it ensured there was a rigorous public consultation process to ensure the guidelines being developed were as useful to stakeholders as possible | Additional community member review of the community involvement guidelines allowed us to ensure that the community voice can still be heard throughout the document | Development of a remuneration policy, which we didn’t originally plan to do. After discussions with the working group and research into the scoping review, it was noted how important offering payment to community members is. A policy was developed and made available online for us by Australian Genomics and Australian Genomics-supported projects.

Administrative tasks associated with consumer payments
Outputs and impacts
Impact: Guidelines will be piloted and evaluated 2024-2025.
This is a set of 17 recommendations divided into five overarching domains that describe key elements of good community involvement practice.
Impact: This policy is being used across several Australian Genomics priority projects and being used/adapted by partner projects.
This was developed to ensure Australian Genomics and its supported projects are provided with the appropriate guidance for community member payment.
Stage: End of project - December 2023
Impact: Guidelines endorsed by multiple organisations
Stage: End of project - December 2023
A supporting document for the Guidelines for Community Involvement in Genomic Research
Stage: Mid-project
Impact: Feedback from the draft guidelines affected the final version of guidelines by making them more readable, useable and intuitive
Response to feedback for Involve Australia’s 'Guidelines for Community Involvement in Genomic Research'
Start: 2023-01-04
Focus on the ethics of public and community involvement in genomics research
