This study is at the pre-funding stage, meaning that we are currently seeking funding for the study.

As a member of the advisory group, you will be asked to attend a meeting where you will have the opportunity to provide valuable feedback and insights based on your personal experiences as the parent or guardian of a child with asthma. During the meeting we will outline our research ideas and ask for feedback on its aims. You will also have the opportunity to provide input on small sections of a research proposal, which will form part of an application for funding

We will also review, amend and finalise a “Terms of Reference” which will outline the responsibilities/activities of the group, any training needs and a payment policy. 

After the meeting, there will be some additional small tasks such as reviewing the amended sections of the proposal. 

If the study is funded, advisory group members will be asked to: 

i) Attend meetings three times are year to discuss the study’s progress, research results and challenges

ii) Help disseminate the study’s findings. This includes the opportunity to co-develop and co-deliver engagement activities 

iii) Help identify or co-create possible interventions or actions aimed at reducing social inequalities in asthma in light of the study’s findings

When and what time?

The initial advisory group meeting will be held online, in early June 2023. 

Subsequent meetings can be a mix of online, hybrid or in-person, depending on the group’s preference. If in-person, they will be held at Imperial College’s South Kensington Campus in London SW7 2AZ.

Meetings will normally last approximately 1.5 hour and at a time convenient to the group (e.g. lunchtime or evenings).
