NIHR Research Design Service South Central
Description
The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) funded Research Design Service South Central (RDS SC) is one of 10 regional services across England providing design and methodological support to health researchers who are developing research funding applications. RDS SC supports research teams to develop and submit high quality applied health and social care grant applications to NIHR and other national peer-reviewed funding programmes.
Public involvement in research
We offer:
- advice on how to find individuals and groups to undertake patient and public involvement (PPI)
- advice on levels of involvement and costing PPI
- facilitation for PPI planning meetings, where researchers and PPI representations can discuss study details and explore key issues such as recruitment and retention into studies
- support and facilitation for activities to engage patients and members of the public in research design
- review of PPI in bids prior to submission from an independent panel of peer reviewers. We can comment on the clarity of patient information sheets, consent forms and lay summaries.
- a regular e-bulletin with latest PPI news and opportunities to get involved.
