He is Course Director for the UL School of Medicine's Professional Diploma in Public & Patient Involvement. Jon is a public health researcher with a background in health promotion and the anthropology of development. His research interests are in understanding the social-relational dimensions of research partnerships, and how research ownership moves from academia to community. Jon is co-author of Canada's Guide to Researcher and Knowledge-User Collaboration in Health Research (http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/44954.html), was a founding member of Participatory Research at McGill (PRAM), McGill University, Montreal, Canada, was inaugural Co-Chair of NAPCRG's Participatory Health Research Working Group (https://napcrg.org/resources/casfm/participatory-health-research/), and is on the executive committee of the International Collaboration for Participatory Health Research (http://icphr.org).

Research Interests

Jon's research centres around understanding the theory and practice of multi-stakeholder engagement in the co-creation of new knowledge. This includes exploring best practices and developing evidence around strategies and mechanisms for effective partnership building between researchers and those most impacted by research. These can include, patients, community members and organisations, policy makers, managers and clinical practitioners. Jon addresses these goals through systematic reviews, realist evaluation, social network analysis, among other methodological approaches.
