NIHR Central Commissioning Facility (CCF)
 

Patient and public involvement: peer review

The Central Commissioning Facility are looking for members of the public to help in reviewing research proposals.

Peer review is a way of checking the importance and appropriateness of research proposals. It is also sometimes called refereeing. The Central Commissioning Facility asks a range of 'experts' to provide written opinions about research proposals that have been submitted for funding. These may include: members of the public, clinicians, academics, health economists, policymakers, health professionals, researchers and statisticians.

If you would like to know more about peer reviewing, further details can be found on the INVOLVE website www.invo.org.uk

If you would like to register your interest in getting involved in the commissioning or peer review process for the NIHR programmes please follow this link

Payment
We are able to pay members of the public for commenting on proposals in line with the Department of Health's approved scale of fees. www.invo.org.uk
