About Research Inclusion at ARC East of England

Research Inclusion 

NIHR ARC East of England Research Inclusion Workstream approach will:

• Create an Inclusive Environment and Workforce for all researchers, students, ARC fellows and public partners. We will offer co-developed training, support and resources.  
• Develop Inclusive Research for Participants, so that research is accessible to all - using research inclusive methodologies.   
• Inclusive Shaping of Research for Public Partners ensuring members of the public prioritise, design and implement research. See more information on the Patient, Public Involvement, Engagement and Participation (PPIEP) page.
