This glossary is intended to support communication between researchers and family members that are partnering in research. It’s normal for some family members to feel a bit lost in the jargon and slang researchers use regularly in their line of work. This document is not meant to be exhaustive or authoritative and some terms may require further explanation from a member of the research team. This glossary is a starting point for partners to develop a shared language.
