Annotation	The importance of involving end-users in the research process, and of involving service users in policy and strategy planning, is now widely recognised. In the North East, Years Ahead has drawn attention to the need to harness the social and intellectual capital of its older people. The aim of the Older People and Research Task Group has been to review and inform ways in which relevant research is organised and managed in the region, and to promote older people's engagement in the research process. This summary report outlines recommendations made on such involvement in initiatives such as Science City, work with academic researchers and the region's five universities, and with NHS Trusts and local authorities.
