Research support opportunities

Your experience can help shape research involving families with twins, triplets or more. Find out how you can share your views and support research for the multiples community.

We're looking for multiple-birth families with and without experience of type 1 diabetes to give feedback on a research proposal we are supporting.

The research aims to improve understanding of type 1 diabetes in identical twins and triplets, and how it develops differently between them, in order to inform the way the condition is managed in multiples.

Your experience as a parent of multiples will help shape the study and ensure it is appropriate and accessible to other families.

You’ll be invited to take part in a focus group and complete a survey with your thoughts on the proposed study.

We’ll contact you within two weeks to confirm the arrangements. We may contact you sooner if the focus group is taking place earlier.

Please keep your selected dates and times free until you hear from us. This will help us plan for the number of people attending.
