NIHR expects that patient and public involvement (PPI) is embedded within research it supports. There is a need to understand more about what guidance is offered to researchers across PPI frameworks. This rapid scoping review aimed to identify and clarify PPI frameworks for health and care research.<h4>Objective</h4>To identify and explore the scope and key features of frameworks for PPI in health and social care research.<h4>Methods</h4>We undertook a rapid scoping review, conducing searches on MEDLINE, CINAHL and PsycInfo for relevant records indexed from 2013 to August 2024.
