WCN24-2539 We Want You!: Patient Partner Recruitment Strategies within a National Kidney Health Research Network

Patient partners refers to co-researchers with lived/living experience either through their own experience with illness or as a caregiver for a loved one with illness. Although the merits of patient partnership in kidney health research are increasingly accepted and promoted, the methods and strategies for recruiting patient partners to become involved in research are poorly understood and not widely reported on, leading to a paucity of practical patient partner recruitment strategies and tools.
