Knowledge-sharing platforms are integral to reducing the impact of bureaucratic systems and processes. With thousands of research faculty and staff, BSPH has tremendous insight and knowledge. As a community, we have substantial expertise in navigating internal and external procedures and overcoming hurdles. We have considerable capacity for also helping others navigate these complex processes and procedures. A wiki is a living document that grows and enriches its content as more contributors provide their insight. As a school, we have an opportunity to develop this wiki into an invaluable first stop for navigating all things research, admin, or related topics.

We welcome members of our community to actively edit and develop these pages. We have a simple template, attached below, which may be appropriate for most content. Essentially, we want a practical, annotated description of the content to be included in the top half of the template. We suggest that the language and detail used target the level of how you would describe the content to someone if you were sitting at a shared computer shoulder to shoulder. In the bottom section of the template, please provide links to any relevant official guidance as well as provide additional resources. Additionally, there is a working outline of the space attached below. This includes existing pages and page topics that are under development. We encourage you to check the outline before recommending a topic for consideration.

However, recognizing that many will be unable to participate in directly contributing or editing pages, we have several other options for helping improve the content, including:

• Use the comment function at the bottom of each page in order to provide your comments and insight. This will be anonymous unless you sign in or self-identify, which is completely up to you.

• Click on the BSPH.research@jhu.edu email link at the bottom of each page and let us know your ideas and suggested topics for additional pages, and to provide corrections or clarifications on existing pages. Users can build their own pages using our illustrative template or resource template.
