INVOLVE has one main Group and three working groups which are 'Strategic Alliances', 'Empowerment' and 'Evidence, Knowledge and Learning'.
The main Group reports and makes recommendations to the Department of Health. Within its role the main Group addresses the broad issues of public involvement in research and development and regularly receives reports from each of its working groups.
The three working groups each have a responsibility for leading on one of the strategic objectives of the main Group.
Strategic Alliances
- to develop and promote alliances with key groups, including the public, researchers, the Department of Health, and other research funders and commissioners in order to promote greater public involvement in research.
Empowerment
- to help develop an environment where people affected by NHS, Public Health and Social Care research have the opportunity, and are equipped to have an active role in determining what and how research is prioritised, commissioned, undertaken, disseminated and put into practice.
Evidence, Knowledge and Learning (previously known as Monitoring and Evaluation)
- to create, gather, disseminate and promote the active use of evidence/knowledge on the inclusive involvement of the public in NHS, public health and social care research.
Further information on the work of the Group and the Sub Groups can be found in the INVOLVE Strategic Plan 2003-2006: Creating the Expert Resource
