Involving the public

Involving people with relevant lived experience in research can bring about many benefits, including improving the way that research is conducted, designed, communicated and shared. 

We are proud to deliver a Public Involvement Programme that features Longitudinal Population Study (LPS) participants from our partner LPS and members of the public. Anyone interested in our programme may email comms@ukllc.ac.uk

The groups listed below are led by the UK LLC Public Involvement Team and all members are public contributors.

Data Access Public Review Panel

reviews data access applications and directly questions researchers about their project purpose, specifically reviewing lay summaries, public involvement plans and if projects are in the public good.
