This toolkit aims to support researchers and diverse communities who are developing health and care research projects and grant applications together.
The 10 Guiding Principles show our community partners’ views on how they would like researchers to engage with them, to build inclusive, sustainable partnerships.
They were co-produced with community partners involved across four Reaching Out Projects facilitated by the NIHR Research Design Service (RDS) in the East of East of England, North East and North Cumbria, South Central and Yorkshire and Humber regions.
