A realist review of community engagement with health research (360G-Wellcome-210505_Z_18_Z)

£260,250

The project will conduct a comprehensive review of community engagement using a realist review approach appropriate for tackling the conceptual complexity and practical diversity of the field. A review team with worldleading expertise in the theory and practice of CE will be supported by an advisory panel of internationally renowned realist review scholars. The review will begin with engagement with malaria research as a ‘pathfinder’ topic – and draw on a network of content experts, implementers and funders to input into and validate the review, ensuring its findings are widely disseminated and embedded in international CE work. Wellcome, BMFG and leading global health funders and implementation partners will benefit from a consolidated evidence base to underpin development of CE strategies in global health research and interventions. Outputs will include articles in peer reviewed open-access journals, an accessible evidence base on MESH/HELP, including context-relevant guidance for developing and evaluating CE strategies, and a critical mass of academics, practitioners, implementers and funders with a mutual interest in strengthening the theory and practice of engagement. In this way the review will spearhead the beginnings of a ‘science’ of community engagement and outline a clear value proposition for CE in global health research (14).
