The design, structure and timeline of events during a research trial.

University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

- Patient and public involvement is important to identify specific research questions 
- Public involvement can help limit the wasting of time and resources on questions and research that is not relevant to the true reality 
- Improves trial design by making sure that the design is acceptable to potential participants, facilitates recruitment for the studies and allows access to underserved and rarely heard population

Trial Design

Because many of the citizens who participate in citizen science research are unfamiliar with many aspects of research, it is important to provide them with tools and guidelines to better their understanding and therefore their contributions. These tools can be:
- Advanced training on citizen participation in research
- Introduction to health research
- Different types of research and study designs
- Perspective of the research form the citizens point of view 
- Research life cycle 
- Different roles for the audience
- Why we involve the public in research 
- Case studies 
- How to do research with commitment of citizens 
- How can the public do citizen science
- How to maximize the impact of citizen science 
- Solutions to practical problems in the field
