The role of patient advisors in research is quickly expanding as researchers identify the value in working with individuals who have lived experiences and knowledge of the health systems and conditions that they study, and as funding agencies begin to require partnerships with patients. Through partnerships with research groups and networks, the Public Patient Engagement Collaborative supports the evaluation of public and patient engagement efforts within health system organizations, research projects and networks
