Included here is a collection of resources that date back to when the Canadian Arthritis Network, and to which a number of CAPA members contributed.

• Patient Engagement Quality Guidance – CAPA participated on the working group of the Patient Focused Medicines Development initiative that built and released a Patient Engagement Quality Guidance document. This document is the result of an international collaboration of stakeholders representing the spectrum of research (i.e. patients, researchers, clinicians, health charities, patient organizations, industry, etc.). The Quality Guidance started with a landscape review of initiatives in the area of patient engagement in research, and was developed, piloted, and revised based on public feedback of the tool. The document will continue to be dynamic and currently has 7 principles to patient engagement in research and can be used by any stakeholders to guide their planning efforts, help them carry out a project, and importantly, to evaluate their patient engagement efforts in projects after the project is completed.
• Patient Involvement in Research – This presentation explains the history of how and why patients have been involved in arthritis research in Canada. This was developed jointly with the Canadian Arthritis Network, and demonstrates how patients were involved in the Network, and the benefits for patients, researchers, and students (trainees).
• Guide for Researchers and Consumers  – This document provides some helpful tips for both researchers and consumers (also known as patients or people living with arthritis) about working together on research projects.
• Consumer Impacts on Research at the Canadian Arthritis Network – This paper chronicles the different types of ways that consumers were involved in research projects and activities at the Canadian Arthritis Network.
• Consumers as Partners in Research Knowledge Translation and Exchange – This paper discusses ways that consumers can help researchers in disseminating information learned from their research.
