Who is this for?

For researchers and clinicians preparing research funding applications, and for reviewers of funding applications assessing the nature of consumer involvement in the proposed research.

This resource has been developed by SHP’s Consumer Advisory Panel and has been tested with SHP researchers as part of the development process. While the guide was developed to support funding applications submitted to SHP, it may also be helpful for other funding schemes.
