Stakeholder Data-Enabled Research Advisory Group (SRAG)
Stakeholder Data-Enabled Research Advisory Group (SRAG) will meet approximately twice per year, continuing the model of the legacy Research Advisory Group (RAG) to provide a forum for discussing the work of NHS England in supporting data enabled research.
SRAG will make use of its wide membership to contextualise NHS England's work through the lens of data-enabled researchers needs, also providing a horizon scan to understand emerging needs. RAG and its individual members play a key role in identifying priority areas for advice; this began at the meeting of SRAG on 27 February 2024.
