Sheffield Motor Neurone Disorders Research Advisory Group

The Sheffield Motor Neurone Disorders Research Advisory Group (SMND RAG) brings together people living with or affected by MND to inform research. We are a committee of individuals that use our knowledge of living with the disease to join in the fight against it by helping researchers.

Our aims

  • Enable patient and carer perspectives to be included in research proposals

  • Identify and prioritise research topics important to patients and their families

  • Improve recruitment to research studies

  • Aid researchers to write clear lay summaries and study information sheets

  • Help share research findings with a wider audience

  • Raise awareness of MND research
