The NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) Innovation Observatory provides a framework to support researchers to involve public members in evidence syntheses (a process to summarise available evidence) with short time frames.

This resource provides useful tips and practical guidance on how researchers can work collaboratively with people with lived experience to shape research projects through shared decision making and equal power.

This infographic provides an overview of the research cycle and highlights opportunities for public and patient involvement at every stage of the research process.
