Payment guidance for researchers and professionals involving people in research

1:1

This guidance has been compiled for a wide audience, but in particular it will be of value to:

  • researchers who need to cost public involvement activities at any stage of the research process
  • anyone in a professional role involved in costing public involvement or advising researchers on budgeting for involvement
  • public contributors who want to know how their involvement in research is costed
  • research advisors/managers who provide guidance to the research community about involvement
  • commissioners of research who invite funding applications from the research community
  • reviewers and panel members who appraise research projects with costed involvement activities

We have developed a separate guidance document aimed at public contributors, which you might also want to view.
