📢 We've increased the payment rate for public involvement within the NIHR by 10%. The rate will also be reviewed every 3 years from 2025. We gain so much from the insights provided by the public. The new rate better recognises the importance of how the public shapes our research. Find out more: nihr.ac.uk/news/nihr-increas…
