Ethics approval and consent to participate
: This project received a waiver of IRB approval. The Eugene Washington PCORI Engage Awards: Conference Support funding opportunity is specifically designed to support research, rather than conduct research (). More specifically this opportunity is intended to encourage the active integration of patients, caregivers, clinicians, and other healthcare stakeholders in the development of PCOR and CER research projects (same reference as above). In line with this mission, and the objective of this proposed project, we were not conducting research, rather we partnered with our patient team members to develop research questions for future research projects. As such, traditional routing through an IRB office was not necessary.
