Public Involvement & Research Inclusion

Public involvement in research is research carried out ‘with’ or ‘by’ members of the public rather than ‘to’, ‘about’ or ‘for’ them.

Learn about our collaborative approach working with the public to shape our research and ensure its meaningful impact on our local communities.

We have a research theme dedicated to finding out the best ways to involve patients, service users, carers and members of the public in research.

Working collaboratively and engaging with communities is at the heart of ARC EoE

NIHR Applied Research Collaboration East of England is committed to championing diversity, equity and equality and sustaining a research environment where everyone feels included.

ARC East of England has joined health and social care organisations, including NHS England and the NIHR, in committing to improve the extent and quality of public involvement in research.
