Consumer involvement in research enhances relevance, impact, and is now a requirement in many NHMRC, MRFF and ARC grant applications. Yet many researchers face challenges engaging consumers effectively. This seminar will cover the what / why / and how of engaging with consumers and provide health and medical researchers with practical strategies to engage consumers in meaningful ways, from consultation to co-production. We will discuss several real-world case studies, and reflect on our own work to strategise how, where and why we could collaborate with consumers.
Join us to learn more about how to make your research more inclusive, impactful, and aligned with the needs of grant funders.
