Why are we doing the ‘People-centred research project’?
The Health Research Authority is leading a project to improve the way clinical research happens and make it easier for people to take part.
We want the UK to be a place where health and care for everyone is improved by outstanding clinical research.
We think that clinical research is outstanding if the right research is done, and it is done in the right way. At the HRA, we are particularly interested in the second part of this: doing research in the right way.
We want to make sure that the priorities and needs of the people who take part in clinical research, and the people who will be affected by the outcomes of the research, are central to how clinical research is done. This is described as being people-centred.
What is the activity?
We are looking for eight people who work in clinical research to join a steering group with eight public contributors. You will help us:
-
decide what work this project undertakes
-
interpret the information we collect and help us to understand what it means
- ensure the project stays true to its aims of being a people-centred project
- publicise our findings and co-author reports and papers about this work
- shape our recommendations to the UK health research sector
- oversee the project's progress
