2011, November NEW
A joint study published by the National Research Ethics Service (NRES) and INVOLVE looks at the extent and nature of reported public involvement in health and social care research.

It analyses information routinely collected by NRES as part of the applications process for ethical approval of research projects. The study was based on a sample of applications submitted to NRES in 2010.

The report :

• provides a ‘snapshot’ of public involvement in research and identifies practical actions for funders, sponsors and regulators in ensuring and facilitating further patient and public involvement

• provides some key insights into the extent to which patients and the public are involved in research, and the understanding of researchers and funders of effective involvement

This guide is for you if you are thinking about getting actively involved in research (see section 1 for definitions of these terms) and you are being offered expenses and/or payment for your involvement.

It offers answers to some frequently asked questions and suggests where you might get advice about your particular circumstances.

This guide does not attempt to answer all of the questions you might have about being paid for involvement; it is a complex area and it would be difficult to cover everyone’s individual circumstances.

We strongly advise you to get expert advice about your own personal financial circumstances before accepting payment for involvement in research.

This is the second of two guides about payment for involvement published by INVOLVE. The other guide, which is aimed at researchers and research commissioners responsible for paying people for their involvement, contains more detail about some of the issues touched on here.

In March 2010 the Academy of Medical Sciences (AMS) was asked by the Department of Health to conduct an independent review of the regulation and governance of medical research. The review is chaired by Sir Michael Rawlins and is likely to report early in 2011. In the course of its inquiry the panel invited AMRC and INVOLVE to hold a workshop which would provide an insight into patient perspectives on the conduct of research and associated regulatory issues. It was agreed that the conclusions of the workshop would be fed into the review and that AMRC and INVOLVE would separately produce an independent report of the event. The workshop was held on Tuesday 2nd November 2010. Download button

This is the report of a ‘think tank’ event jointly organised by the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC), the James Lind Alliance (JLA) and INVOLVE, with the support of the UK Clinical Research Collaboration.

It brought together representatives from large and small research funding organisations, research commissioners and other groups and individuals with experience of patient and public involvement in research priority setting and commissioning.

The purpose of the meeting was to reflect on progress and to consider the future development of patient and public involvement in research priority setting and commissioning processes. (Report of an event organised by the Association of Medical Research Charities, INVOLVE and the James Lind Alliance) Download button

This is the report of a workshop held in March 2010 with a diverse group of service users interested in health and social care research. The aim was to find out how more people can be actively involved in research, especially groups and people whose views are heard less often in wider society.

This report details the ideas and perspectives from the 11 service user participants, summarises the discussion between the service user participants and INVOLVE and sets out the service user identified recommendations for future work to improve and expand the groups and people getting involved with research.

This guide is a revision of a previous guide last up-dated in 2006. It is intended primarily for use by researchers and research managers. It may also be useful for research commissioners. Included in the guide is a section on the general principles in relation to making payments and more detailed information about specific issues, intending to help researchers think about what they need to know and do to set out their policies and procedures in relation to payment and covering expenses. (INVOLVE (2010)) Download button

This report provides details of public involvement in the Research Design Services.

The Research Design Services are funded by the National Institute for Health Research to help NHS researchers and those working with NHS partners to prepare grant applications for applied health or social care research. They will do this by providing expert advice and support on research design and methodology.

By compiling this ‘map’ of their public involvement work, we hope to provide a comprehensive description of how the 10 Research Design Services plan to promote and support public involvement in research. It is helpful to see the full range of approaches to public involvement in research across the regional services.

We hope this document will be of interest to the Research Design Services and other organisations concerned with public involvement in research.

This new INVOLVE report was launched on Friday 6th November 2009 by Professor Dame Sally Davies, Director General of Research and Development at the Department of Health.

This report explores the impact of public involvement through an in-depth review of published literature.

It draws together a wealth of examples of how public involvement is conducted, and what difference it is making. But it also raises questions of the quality of the evidence for the impact of such involvement, revealing huge variation in how this is assessed and reported and highlighting difficulties in judging it or drawing general conclusions.

However, although there is not a consistent approach to assessing impact, or describing it, the same benefits and costs are being consistently reported:

- in clinical research it was found to be of particular value in ensuring acceptability of trials, and that participants felt them to be ethical, well-designed and have relevant outcome measures

- public involvement was reported to help increase recruitment to all types of research

- public involvement was reported to be of value in qualitative research

This paper was produced on behalf of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) for the Senior Investigators Conference, November 2009.

The document provides examples of how NIHR Senior Investigators have involved the public in their research. We selected examples from 31 Senior Investigators to illustrate the wide range of activities and different ways they are involving the public across all stages of the research process.

Senior Investigators are selected by an international panel of judges through open competition and are chosen for the contributions they are making to research. As part of their application to become a Senior Investigator, they are asked how they have involved the public in their research. The information in this paper is taken (with their consent) from the information they provided in their applications.

We believe that this document will be of interest to researchers, both to highlight the potential for greater public involvement amongst other researchers, as well as providing an understanding of why researchers are increasingly valuing public input.  (Sarah Buckland and Karen Postle, INVOLVE) Download button

User controlled research has been developed by service users and their organisations as a new approach to undertaking research and evaluation. The aim of this project was to find out more about the definition, nature, operation, problems and potential of user controlled research. It was carried out both through a literature review and through information provided directly by a wide range of service users and service user researchers in a series of individual interviews and group discussions. This Report provides the first in-depth discussion and analysis of user controlled research.
