March 2011. An introductory guide for members of the public who are considering active involvement in NHS, public health or social care research.

Author: Alison Faulkner

This guide is for you if you are thinking about getting actively involved in research 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 is the second of two guides about payment for involvement published by INVOLVE. The other guide, Payment for involvement, 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.
