Involvement in Research

Our partners and people with lived experience help shape what we research, how we do it and where the work goes from the very beginning to the end.

We value the knowledge, experiences and perspectives that people bring, working together to make sure our research reflects what matters to the communities involved.

Here we share the people, partnerships and values behind PIER, as well as the learning and insights that have come from working together. PIER can support both researchers who want to involve communities in their research and organisations who wish to develop research around a particular issue.
