The Dignity Project Framework:

An extreme citizen science framework in occupational therapy and rehabilitation research

For the past two years, the Dignity Project has developed and refined a framework for extreme citizen science in rehabilitation research. The framework, digital platform, and activities saw the team selected as finalists for the Eureka Prize in innovation in Citizen Science and has now been published in a Special Issue of the Australian Journal of Occupational Therapy. 

 Based on 4 principles of importance that emerged for conducting dignified rehabilitation research with people with disability - grounding research in a human rights conceptualisation of disability; eliminating barriers to participation—intersectionality and authenticity; diversity in engagement—accessibility and inclusion; and transparent ways of working - the Dignity Project was able to identify 5 phases which made up a framework for extreme citizen science in rehabilitation research.
