Can members of the community play an active role in medical research?
The NHMRC supports an active role for the community in health and medical research. The NHMRC and the Consumers Health Forum of Australia Inc (CHF) worked in partnership with consumers and researchers to develop the Statement on Consumer and Community Participation in Health and Medical Research. The Statement on Consumer and Community Participation in Health and Medical Research was developed in recognition of the contribution that consumers can make to research, as well as their right to participate in research. It is intended as a guide to consumer and community participation at all levels and across all types of health and medical research.
