Consumer Register access
Are you an allergy researcher interested in collaborating with consumers?
Now more than ever, robust research relies on consumer involvement to help make sure you’re answering the right question and addressing the issues that matter most.
Allergy researchers can now apply to be partnered with up to four members of the NACE Consumer Engagement Register to help inform how your research is conducted and translated.
The Register includes 60 people who are living with – or caring for someone with – allergic disease, and remains open to online applications.
The consumers have varying levels of lived experience of drug, food, insect an respiratory allergy and they are eager to collaborate with you.
