PROJECTS
James Lind Alliance (JLA) Priority Setting Partnership (PSP)
-
The James Lind Alliance (JLA) brings together patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to find out what research questions matter most to them.
-
Instead of researchers deciding what to study, the JLA makes sure that the people most affected by a health condition have a real voice.
-
Through a fair and transparent process, the JLA helps groups identify and rank the top unanswered questions about treatments and care. These "Top 10 Priorities" guide future research so it meets real-world needs.
At CAN-PACT, we’re using the JLA’s proven approach to make sure our research focuses on what matters most to people living with advanced cancer.
