James Lind Alliance

The James Lind Alliance (JLA) is an organization that brings together patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to identify and prioritize important health research questions. Named after the 18th-century Scottish doctor James Lind, who pioneered clinical trials, the JLA aims to ensure that research focuses on what matters most to those affected by health issues. By facilitating discussions and collaborations, the JLA helps create a "top ten" list of research priorities, guiding funding bodies and researchers to address these key concerns effectively and improve health outcomes for everyone involved.
