Useful links

The People In Research website has 3 main themes:

Find out about involvement
Getting Involved
Find people to involve

The website was set-up by INVOLVE on behalf of the UKCRC as an answer to members of the public asking how they could get involved in research and organisations asking how to find people to get involved.
