The project
The project is about developing a new therapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. This request to the PCUK Research Involvement Network is to request some feedback on Dr Carly Bliss’ project lay summary, prior to me taking it forward in a funding application.
What are they going to do?
Dr Bliss will attach a lay summary and request any feedback, no matter how brief or details, from anyone affected by pancreatic cancer.
Why is this research important?
Carly would like to invite patient feedback on a lay summary of a prospective research project. Firstly, to see how she can improve the language and messaging in the summary. And secondly, to capture opinions whether there is anything she has not considered in this summary piece. This is ahead of pitching the project for funding.
How to get involved
Open to anyone affected by pancreatic cancer: Patients with pancreatic cancer, any anyone with wider lived experience e.g. carers, family members/friends of patients etc.
No scientific background or prior experience is needed to take part in this opportunity.
Next steps
