It may be an activity that involves non-specialists in the design or development of the research, by working with or within communities or in partnership with other organisations, for example patient panels, public consultations, social research, citizen science, or
It could be a collaborative research partnership with an organisation/s beyond academia for knowledge exchange or to influence local, national or international audiences to bring about positive change in policy or practice.
