Join our advisory panel

We welcome applications from people from all backgrounds, communities and life experiences. You do not need any experience of research, advisory groups or committees. We are interested in hearing different perspectives and will provide support to help you get involved.

You will need to be 18 years or older.

Meetings will be held online every eight weeks, and there will occasionally be a meeting in person (travel expenses will be provided).
The meetings will last no longer than two hours. Ahead of the meetings, members will be sent documents for review.

As a panel member, you will be required to:

• provide advice, guidance and feedback on the progress of the study
• share your thoughts on new research ideas before they start
• provide views on the design and content of new questionnaires
• help us make information, letters and questionnaires clear and easy to understand
• provide advice and guidance on policies to support the running of the study
• tell us when research activities might be too time-consuming or difficult for participants
• help us decide how to share research findings with participants and the public

• Participant and public involvement in research is vital to make studies more relevant, more effective and improve the quality of the research it conducts
• Children of the 90s provides the international research community with a rich resource for the study of environmental and genetic factors that affect a person’s health and development. Through our research we aim to inform policy and practices that will provide a better life for future generations. Being part of the advisory panel means you have the chance to shape and influence our practices and upcoming studies.
• You will be reimbursed £27.50 an hour for your time.

No previous experience is needed.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences. You do not need any experience of research, advisory groups or committees. We are interested in your views and experiences, and we will provide support to help you get involved.

We will be in touch with you as soon as possible to let you know if you have been invited for an informal, online interview.

You do not need any previous experience of research or advisory groups to join APPAP. We will provide an introduction to Children of the 90s and explain the role of the panel. We can also help you get set up for online meetings and answer any questions before your first meeting. Our team is available to provide ongoing support and guidance to help you feel confident taking part.

We know that not everyone feels confident speaking in meetings straight away. There is no expectation that you have specialist knowledge or that you contribute to every discussion. We value different perspectives and experiences, and we'll support you to get involved in a way that works for you.
