Guidance on co-producing a research project (NIHR, April 2021)

Summary

Co-producing a research project is an approach in which researchers, practitioners and the public work together, sharing power and responsibility from the start to the end of the project, including the generation of knowledge. This guidance, from the National Institute for Health Research, is a first step in explaining what is meant by co-producing a research project.

It sets out the key principles and features of co-producing a research project and suggests ways to realise them. It also outlines some of the key challenges that will need addressing, in further work, to aid those intending to take the co-producing research route.
