K-HARP: Kansas Health and Research Participation Network: Building Capacity for Self-Determination

2024

Internal Project # 1003891-968 The primary objective is to develop, implement, evaluate, and disseminate a framework for building capacity for inclusive, PCOR co-led by people with and without IDD. We have four aims. (1) Establishing the K-HARP network, bringing together people with IDD and multiple stakeholder partners for monthly, virtual meetings to advance inclusive health research in Kansas. (2) Co-creating, implementing, and evaluating a year-long, virtual learning series focused on building the knowledge, skills, and capacities of people with IDD to engage in inclusive PCOR/CER. As part of the learning series, researchers with IDD will engage in experiential learning, and will plan for a summative World Café to gather information about the pressing health needs of Kansans with IDD. (3) Developing a strategic plan for sustainability and future grant submissions. (4) Building capacity to support ongoing growth and sustainability of K-HARP after this project ends and disseminating the framework.
