Introducing a new toolkit for engaging with communities

In 2022, the former NIHR Research Design Service (RDS) led on the development of a co-produced toolkit for engaging with local communities to support their involvement in health and social care research.

The development was supported by ARC NENC.

This toolkit is aimed at supporting researchers who are developing grant applications with, and for, diverse communities.

The Toolkit is built around ten guiding principles for involvement.
