An overview
Public involvement in research is when the research is carried out with or by members of the public rather than
‘to’, ‘about’, or ‘for’ them. This includes, for example, working with research funders to prioritise research,
offering advice as members of a project steering group, commenting on and developing research materials and
undertaking research with research participants.
For more information, see About public involvement.
The People in Research website is a notice board of involvement opportunities from NIHR and many other organisations in the health and social care research sector.
