Tinnitus represents a major burden of disability, yet there is scant evidence for effective management strategies and a lack of clinical trials to formally test even some of the most commonly used drugs and medical devices. The James Lind Alliance gives a voice to patients and clinicians to identify and prioritize important clinical research questions concerning treatment uncertainties. This article describes the initiative conducted by the Tinnitus Priority Setting Partnership; how it was set up, what the consultation process was, and how the top ten research priorities were identified. For each priority, we recommend a research strategy; either calling for a systematic review or appropriate clinical study. We promote these as topics for commissioned research and as priority areas to encourage researcher-led funding applications.

Research priority setting activities in paediatric chronic disease cover many discipline areas and have elicited a broad range of topics. However, child/caregiver involvement is uncommon, and the methods often lack clarity. A systematic and explicit process that involves patients and families in partnership may help to inform a more patient and family-relevant research agenda in paediatric chronic disease.

“…This sample size was estimated on the basis of previous James Lind Alliance PSPs 438 and determined by the time frame available for the vitiligo PSP. Data from all stages were stored and analysed in Microsoft Access ® 2007 (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA, USA) and processed by the Steering Group members.…”

Programme Grants for Applied Research programmeThe Programme Grants for Applied Research (PGfAR) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 2006 to produce independent research findings that will have practical application for the benefit of patients and the NHS in the relatively near future. The Programme is managed by the NIHR Central Commissioning Facility (CCF) with strategic input from the Programme Director.The programme is a national response mode funding scheme that aims to provide evidence to improve health outcomes in England through promotion of health, prevention of ill health, and optimal disease management (including safety and quality), with particular emphasis on conditions causing significant disease burden.For more information about the PGfAR programme please visit the website: http://www.nihr.ac.uk/funding/programme-grants-forapplied-research.htm This reportThe research reported in this issue of the journal was funded by PGfAR as project number RP-PG-0407-10177. The contractual start date was in September 2008. The final report began editorial review in April 2014 and was accepted for publication in April 2016. As the funder, the PGfAR programme agreed the research questions and study designs in advance with the investigators. The authors have been wholly responsible for all data collection, analysis and interpretation, and for writing up their work.
