UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has signed a shared commitment to improve public involvement in health and social care research.
Funders, regulators and research organisations who play an important role in the UK health and social care research have come together. They are working with members of the public to sign up to a bold new shared commitment to improve public involvement in research.
UKRI and a host of organisations across the UK have committed to bring about changes that will drive up standards in health and social care research. See statement here
This fits well with the five year BU Public Involvement in Education and Research (PIER) strategy and our vision for those who are most affected by health and social inequalities to lead the way in shaping responses and improving outcomes and impact.
