NIHR committees members help decide which research to prioritise and which research projects to fund. Committees usually consist of members who have a broad range of perspectives, knowledge, skills and experience. They include NHS clinicians and practitioners, academics, local government decision makers, and members of the public.

The Digital Youth website provides a range of videos and podcasts, created in partnership between researchers and young people with lived experience of mental health difficulties, to encourage PPI best practice.
The Sprouting Minds PPI group gives young people an opportunity to work alongside research and give ideas about the process of taking part in mental health research.
