Role of Engagement in Research
Including patients and other healthcare stakeholders (e.g., caregivers, clinicians/providers, industry, payers/purchasers, and researchers) throughout the research process helps ensure that research is:
Focused on real-world questions that matter to patients and other clinical care decision makers.
Transparent, so that results can be trusted.
Shared in ways that results are meaningful and useful.
