Are you facing an illness? Helping a loved one with a new diagnosis? Hoping to develop a research project that can improve health or healthcare? Share your story today to help others understand what it is like to experience health problems or to bring together stakeholders and researchers to build a health research team.

Story sharing is just a recorded conversation. There are just 3 easy steps!

There is no "right" or "wrong" story: We are interested in the story you want to tell. If you have more than one story, you’re welcome to return and share additional chapters!

There is no "right" or "wrong" way to tell your story: Some people know just how they want to tell their story, while others prefer to review our list of optional “prompts” and choose questions that they would like to be asked.

Your story can be long or short: Stories vary in length, but we ask that you keep each story to no more than 20 minutes long. Overall, the process of sharing your story can take about an hour. We will talk to you about how we may share your story, and ask you a few questions to make sure you understand and agree. We will also ask you a few survey questions to learn more about you!
