The Project Advisory Group

The Role of the Project Advisory Group (PAG)

The main role of the PAG, as its title suggests, is to offer advice and support. It does not have management responsibility for the project. The PAG's functions are varied but include the following:

  • offering support and advice for the project as a whole and for specific aspects of the work e.g. research design, methodology
  • providing information about similar work in progress as well as about policy and practice developments
  • reviewing progress
  • providing a channel for JRF to keep in touch with the project
  • granting a forum to discuss ways of dissemination
  • making use of personal networks to publicise project findings

Our PAG is made up of academics and professionals from a range of disciplines and professions who have in-depth experience within the field of researching race and ethnicity.
