RESEARCH STUDY RECRUITMENT
Are you passionate about removing federal electoral barriers for people with brain injuries?
Did you know that many persons with Canada who live with brain injury experience significant barriers to participation in federal elections? Those barriers show up in the voter registration process, communication of candidate platforms, voting, and in seeking and/or sustaining employment at Elections Canada. Brain Injury Canada is excited to announce a new research project focused on these issues. The duration of the project is from Spring 2023 to late Winter 2026.
This project, Brain Injury & Accessibility of the Electoral Process, is funded by Accessibility Standards Canada and aims to identify barriers preventing individuals living with a brain injury from fully participating in federal electoral processes.
The research from this project will contribute to the development of Canadian accessibility standards for federal elections. The perspectives of Canadians with brain injuries are crucial to the success of this project. This is why we would like to invite you to participate in this exciting work!
At this stage, Brain Injury Canada is actively recruiting members who identify as living with brain injury for our project advisory group (PAG). These members will receive compensation to attend virtual meetings to provide their perspective on various aspects of the research project. Additional spots for professional/trainee members may be available depending on experience and interest. To learn more about the PAG and apply, click here
Applications will close on December 15th, 2023
