WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN THE EXPERT NETWORK OF RESEARCH ADVISORS AND PEER REVIEWERS FOR THE ICM?

The International Confederation of Midwives Research Standing Committee is looking to develop an expert network of research advisors/peer reviewers to provide advice and support to the ICM and the Research Standing Committee on research issues. This network will serve a dual function of facilitating research collaboration among members as well as providing a resource to the ICM. The overall aim of the ICM Research Standing Committee is to strengthen the development of midwifery research internationally. Currently the Committee consists of regional representatives whose aim is to facilitate the dissemination of information and develop the research workshops and themes at the Triennial Congress and we are now looking to develop a multi-disciplinary network of active researchers.

We are looking for people who:

Recognise the importance of research to midwifery and reproductive health generally,

Are professionally active in the area of midwifery and reproductive health research,

We aim to publish a contact database of members research expertise on the new ICM web site to facilitate networking among members. We would be pleased to hear from any person who believes he or she can contribute to the process of providing expert advice and reviewing research. In accordance with other networks of this type, applicants will be asked to send in a CV before acceptance.

Please email an expression of interest with your CV to the ICM office info@internationalmidwives.org and we will contact you in due course.
