Welcome to the James Lind Alliance website

The James Lind Alliance (JLA) is a non-profit making initiative which was established in 2004. It brings patients, carers and clinicians together to identify and prioritise the top 10 uncertainties, or 'unanswered questions', about the effects of treatments that they agree are most important.

This information will help ensure that those who fund health research are aware of what matters to both patients and clinicians.

The JLA is part of the James Lind Initiative and is principally funded by the National Institute for Health Research.

Input to the JLA comes from a mix of lay people, healthcare and clinical research professionals and experts in patient and public involvement. Its activities are overseen by a Strategy and Development Group.

This website contains information for those interested in finding out more about the JLA, and those who wish to become involved.
