Research at CAHN works in partnership and in collaboration with stakeholders to address inequality by influencing policies and service delivery, changing practices driven by evidence. We tackle these issues and create a platform where equity, justice and fairness can be achieved. Research at CAHN aims to;
The research departments offer tailored recruitment and assign a dedicated research officer to facilitate the recruitment process depending on the research and criteria.
We work with the marketing and communication department and our partners to ensure quality and wide access to the target group. This is achieved within agreed timelines, ensuring our partners have the necessary information. We can provide transcription and also facilitate the discussions, meaning that your role would simply be to concentrate on the analysis. We offer face-to-face and virtual focus group discussions. Alternatively, our partners can come and facilitate or co-facilitate. We believe in compensation of the time for the communities engaged in research as a policy. To standardise processes, our CAHN department and the income strategy would ask for you to cover costs, including recruitment, venue hire, refreshments, and incentives. The minimum for face-to-face discussions (including transport) is £ 30; virtual sessions are capped at £ 25 maximum (depending on funds). For those who still need a research budget, we also engage and look at avenues to support the research; however, we do not assign resources to the processes. Feel free to reach out to us directly if you have more specific questions for our research team using research@cahn.org.uk.
The institute works with Partners from NHS, Academic institutions across the UK, NIHR, community organisations and VCSE.
CAHNIRI engage in the following forms of partnerships
CAHN will work on the seven principles with partners
We receive numerous requests to collaborate with various institutions all over the UK. We value each institution’s unique perspectives and expertise, and your collaboration could significantly enhance our research initiatives.
The interests range from co-designing and co-production to recruitment research opportunities for participants from The Black Caribbean and African communities and other minority groups. The involvement could include facilitating focus group discussions for various research studies or just recruiting. We do these via internal and external networks and partners. Information is customised to meet the needs of the partner and the community.
This could happen either way, by CAHN seeking out partners for collaboration or the Partners identifying CAHN.
We seek to increase early detection, reduce late presentation and improve self-care and quality of life. These are some of the current areas of research (not limited) that we need collaboration.
