Note Taker

Purpose:

The success of any qualitative research workshop relies heavily on the accurate and comprehensive documentation of discussions and insights. These workshops ( Endpoint workshop and validation workshop)  are designed to gather rich, detailed data that reflects participants’ experiences, opinions, and perspectives. Note-takers play a pivotal role in this process, ensuring that every key point, idea, and nuance is meticulously recorded. This documentation will serve as a critical resource for researchers to analyze trends, develop conclusions, and inform decision-making. The selected note-takers will contribute significantly to the quality and reliability of the research outcomes.

Engagement:

• Attend all pre-workshop briefings to understand the workshop objectives, agenda, and note-taking guidelines.
• Familiarize themselves with the key themes, discussion topics, and tools used during the sessions.
• Record all discussions, key points, and participant interactions in real-time during the workshop sessions.
• Capture participants’ responses verbatim, where feasible, ensuring that nuances and diverse perspectives are accurately documented.
• Note non-verbal cues, such as body language, tone, and group dynamics, that contribute to a richer understanding of the discussions.
• Document questions, suggestions, and feedback provided by participants.
• Structure notes in a logical and coherent format, categorizing them by session, topic, or theme as per the workshop agenda.
• Highlight recurring themes, challenges, and key insights that emerge during the discussions.
• Handle all participant information with the utmost confidentiality.
• Ensure professionalism in capturing sensitive or emotionally charged discussions, particularly in workshops addressing vulnerable populations or sensitive topics.

• Provide input on improving data collection processes if required.

Delivery:
