Alcohol Research UK
Description
Alcohol Research UK is an independent charity that tackles alcohol-related harm by funding high quality, impartial research. We provide grants to people working at the cutting-edge of alcohol-harm prevention, whether undertaking research, testing out new ideas or running projects that help to disseminate high quality evidence. We also have a studentship scheme which invests in promising researchers embarking on a career in the field.
Public involvement in research
Since October 2016 the new PPI lead has been active in organising public involvement events (roundtables, workshops/research training, a conference) across the UK (London, Birmingham, Edinburgh) and funding research that meets our public involvement criteria, which is now a requirement of our Research Innovation grants and is strongly encouraged for our Small grants scheme. We are currently in the process of recruiting service users to become part of a panel that will advise on grant proposals and have already have developed strong links with existing service user panels in London and Sheffield through which we will recruit initially.
