Involvement in research funding – a brief survey of CRIG members

Uploaded: 18th February 2025 | Topic: Involvement strategies

Resource was added by: Ben Morrison

As part of a project at Breast Cancer Now, we wanted to gather some insights into if and how other funders are incorporating involvement into their research funding activities.

We did this by creating a brief survey covering (among other things):
- If people with lived experience (PLE) are involved in research funding activities
- How PLE are involved
- How PLE are recruited and trained/guided/supported
- How grant applicants are trained/guided/supported
- Payment policies
- Impact evaluation
- Challenges

22 CRIG members, who fund research, were kind enough to complete the survey and agreed for their responses to be shared with the network. Attached is a spreadsheet containing the survey questions and responses received.
