People in Research

People in Research is a web resource which helps to put members of the public in touch with organisations and researchers who want to actively involve people in clinical research.

This might include helping to decide what is researched, how the research should be carried out and what should be done. For example, it could involve:

  • joining a group of patients working with a hospital research team to help write a patient information leaflet
  • helping a research funding body to decide how to allocate money for research into conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

If you are a member of the public you can search a database of current opportunities to get involved and watch video clips of people talking about their experiences of involvement. If you are a researcher or a reseach organisation you can advertise opportunities for involvement on the site.

INVOLVE manage the day to day running of the site.
