![]() In the last decade, expectations for engaging patients and other stakeholders throughout the conceptualization, conduct, and dissemination of research have become an established part of the clinical and translational research culture. The Stakeholder Engagement Navigator webtool is a user-centered, interactive webtool suitable for use by researchers seeking guidance on appropriate stakeholder engagement methods for clinical and translational research projects. The V1.0 Navigator webtool filters methods first by purpose of engagement (noted by 62% of users as the highest priority criteria), then by budget, time per stakeholder interaction, and total interactions. As prioritized during user testing, the Stakeholder Engagement Navigator webtool both educates and guides investigators in selecting an engagement method based on key criteria. To develop the webtool, we used an iterative design process that followed Design Thinking phases: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. We formally reviewed and cataloged 29 distinct engagement methods. We conducted an environmental scan and literature review, along with investigator interviews, surveys, and engagement expert facilitated group discussion. ![]() We describe the development of a novel Stakeholder Engagement Navigator webtool. Stakeholder engagement is increasingly expected by funders and valued by researchers in clinical and translational science, yet many researchers lack access to expert consultation or training in selecting appropriate stakeholder engagement methods.
