You will ensure the accessible dissemination of research results, investigate collaborative opportunities with DPOs, and build relationships with community contacts for future funding. Key responsibilities include providing guidance to community partners, contributing to meetings, adhering to Health and Safety guidelines, and developing research methods within the programme framework.
