The Value of Plain Language Summaries (PLSs) project team within the Data Transparency Working Group, is calling for volunteers!

This project has been initiated because whilst the industry has put significant efforts into developing and disseminating plain language summaries of trial results (PLSs) to promote transparency and engagement, there remains a gap in quantitative evidence of how these documents are used and what value they bring to the trial participants and the general public. Gathering feedback from trial participants – the primary audience for PLSs – and other readers will provide meaningful insights into their value and inform improvements.

The team will be creating a survey to evaluate the value of PLSs and the survey feedback will be shared as a white paper authored by the group.

If you’d like to become a valued project member, please get in touch with workinggroups@phuse.global by 19 January 2026 ahead of the kick off meeting scheduled for Tuesday 20 January 8am 08:00 EST / 1pm GMT. 13:00 GMT / 14:00 CEST

If you would like to get involved in a PHUSE Working Group Project, please explore the projects via the Volunteer Board and contact the PHUSE Office on workinggroups@phuse.global to express your interest.
