The Co-creating a ‘peer researchers toolkit’ for LGBTQ+ informal carers project is funded by the QR-Policy Support Fund (Research England). The project involves researchers in the Information School and the School of Health Sciences, University of Sheffield and in the School of Social Work and Social Policy, University of Strathclyde. The overall aim of the project is to develop a toolkit to inform and guide research co-production in LGBTQ ageing care and will last until the end of July 2023. Specifically, the project aims:

- To identify best practices in co-producing research with minoritised groups in the social care domain.
- To identify ways for meaningfully co-creating research with older LGBTQ+ informal carers.
- To develop a toolkit, containing training guidelines, supervision and support advice for researchers who engage older LGBTQ+ informal carers as peer researchers.

You will conduct a review of Public Patient Involvement toolkits and frameworks, and benchmark these to identify best practices; you will support the recruitment for, organisation and coordination of online workshops with LGBTQ+ informal carers; you will contribute to the development of policy briefings; you will support the development and maintenance of the project website.
