Is there a particular work title and description for patient and stakeholder partners that we should use?

No. Meaningful patient engagement occurs in a myriad of ways and along a continuum from input to shared leadership, so partners should be described according to their role and level of involvement. If they have a highly active role in carrying out the work of the study, they might be listed and compensated as co-investigators. If they are serving in an advisory capacity, they might be listed and compensated as consultants. Beyond titles, it is also important to describe the tasks and responsibilities of each partner.
