Bodywhys receives a high volume of requests from professional researchers and third level students who are undertaking research on eating disorders. We are inviting people to become part of a research panel. This panel is open to people who have experience of an eating disorder as a family member, as someone who has an eating disorder or as someone who is recovered or feels they are in recovery.
Your details will be kept confidentially within Bodywhys and as research opportunities arise, you will be sent (most likely emailed) a copy of the research proposal and contact details for the researcher. It will then be entirely up to you whether you want to participate in that particular project.
Most projects are done on a voluntary basis but you may receive money to cover any expenses. Most projects take the form of a questionnaire. In some cases, you may be invited to be part of a focus group with other people who have similar experiences as you.
As there is currently a huge lack of research into eating disorders in Ireland, you would be making a valuable contribution. If you would like to participate in this research panel, please complete the application form below. You can contact Bodywhys Central Office at info@bodywhys.ie or by phone on 01 - 2834963 if you have any further enquiries.
