Prospective members have the choice of being involved as either an active or a passive member. The type of membership is flexible and members have the opportunity to change to whichever option suits them best.

We would like active members to make sure that they make us aware of any new IPD meta-analyses and ensure that the information they have provided us on all their projects is up to date. If possible and appropriate, we also ask active members to assist us by answering queries, providing specialist advice on IPD, directing potential new members to us, and attending meetings of the Group, which are usually held at the annual Cochrane Colloquia.

Passive members do not need to participate as above but will receive the information that we circulate regarding our activities within The Cochrane Collaboration.
