Our Aim

Increase Diversity in Research Participation

RViR Is delivered by Action Hampshire, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board, University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, and The Engaging Communities Research Centre University of Winchester.

Together, the partners have delivered two phases of RViR and continue to develop the project, so it reaches more under-served communities and researchers.

What our Participants Say

“I think I'm going to feel more confident, comfortable and able to share my thoughts and opinions when it comes to important discussions (like the ones we had in the research sessions). I also think I feel more confident with using my lived experience to help improve things for others.”
RViR Community Member
“I didn’t think I’d have anything useful to say, but research is for everyone!”
RViR Community Member
“This has been a fantastic opportunity for the young people we work with, and we already have our next research opportunity booked – working with the Secure Data Environment. It is definitely something we will continue to do. We shared the learning from workshop 1 with XXXX group as they are considering their own research project.”
VCSE Organisation
“I Personally my research should now be better and more enhanced because I've been involved in this project and I'd like to think that every other organisation, every other individual taking part in this will now be better researchers because of the outcomes of this project.”
