Cover: Patient and advocate voices are crucial for helping to set research priorities, address ethical concerns, influence decisions in funding, legislation and policy, promote health equity, and bring attention to the burdens faced by patients and their families. Perhaps the most important and effective way for disease researchers to engage with patients and advocates is to start by listening. In the spirit of listening, Disease Models & Mechanisms has launched a new series – ‘Building Advocacy into Research’. This series will feature interviews, ‘The Patient’s Voice’, with patients and advocates for a range of disease types. It is our hope that the series will provide patients and researchers alike with roadmaps for how to build strong ongoing partnerships, supporting the highest quality research for the benefit of all patients affected by disease.
