Background: It is good practice for the public to be involved in developing health research. Resources should be available for researchers to fund the involvement of the public in the development of their grants.
Objective: To describe a funding award scheme to support public involvement in grant development, managed by an NIHR Research Design Service (RDS).
Background: It is good practice for the public to be involved in developing research ideas into grant applications. Some positive accounts of this process have been published, but little is known about when their reactions are negative and when researchers' ideas are abandoned.
Objective: To present a case study account of when an academic-led idea for funding was not supported by stroke survivors and carers who were asked to contribute to its development, together with a reflection on the implications of the case from all the stakeholders involved.
Background: Public involvement is central to health and social research policies, yet few systematic evaluations of its impact have been carried out, raising questions about the feasibility of evaluating the impact of public involvement.
Objective: To investigate whether it is feasible to evaluate the impact of public involvement on health and social research.
Methods: Mixed methods including a two-round Delphi study with pre-specified 80% consensus criterion, with follow-up interviews.
Objective: To investigate health researchers' attitudes to involving the public in research.
Background: Public involvement in research is encouraged by the Department of Health in the UK. Despite this, the number of health researchers actively involving the public in research appears to be limited.
Objectives: To investigate how far and in what way consumers are involved in NHS research.
Background: There is guidance from the UK Department of Health on involving consumers in research, but it is not known how these policies have been implemented.
Design: A national postal survey was conducted of 884 researchers selected randomly from the National Research Register, 16 researchers registered on the INVOLVE database and 15 consumers nominated by researchers who collaborated in the same research projects.
Objective: To obtain consensus on the principles and indicators of successful consumer involvement in NHS research.
Design: Consensus methods were used. An expert workshop, employing the nominal group technique was used to generate potential principles and indicators.
