[DIYbio] Invitation to Participate in Research

Sent on behalf of the researcher

Dear Prospective Participants, 

This is an invitation to participate in a study concerning how "expertise" is defined and identified in citizen science projects. We are looking to interview citizen scientists, and researchers running citizen science projects. 

The purpose of the research is to understand how individuals involved in citizen science assess their expertise and the competencies of their peers in terms. The goal of this research is to better understand the implicit and explicit assessment of expertise that STEM researchers use in multidisciplinary collaboration. Understanding these mechanisms has significance to training initiatives at local and national levels. 

Participation in this study is voluntary. If you choose to participate in this study, you will be asked to participate in a 30-minute interview with Dr. Mehlenbacher or a member of her Networked Expertise research team. For your time, you will receive a $5.00 Amazon gift card. 


This study has been reviewed and received ethics clearance through a University of Waterloo Research Ethics Committee (ORE# 21110). If you have questions for the Committee contact the Office of Research Ethics, at 1-519-888-4567 ext. 36005 or ore-ceo@uwaterloo.ca

For all other questions please contact the project PI, Dr. Ashley Rose Mehlenbacher, at ashley.mehlenbacher@uwaterloo.ca

Thank you in advance for your consideration and assistance. 

Cordially, 
Ashley
