Like all theories, NPT is a work in progress, it has grown and developed as people have used and criticized it, and its scope has expanded as it has been applied to different problems. That process continues.

This site - normalizationprocess.org - was created by Carl May, Elizabeth Murray, Tracy Finch, Frances Mair, Shaun Treweek, Luciana Ballini, Anne Macfarlane and Tim Rapley - with help from grow. We designed the toolkit and wrote the text. But many other people have been involved in our work since 2000, including: Christopher Dowrick (University of Liverpool), Linda Gask (University of Manchester), Bie Nio Ong (Keele University), Anne Rogers (University of Manchester), Mary Ellen Purkis (Victoria), Glyn Elwyn (Cardiff University), France Légaré (Université Laval, Quebec), Catherine Pope (Southampton University), Jane Gunn (University of Melbourne), Nilay Shah and Victor M Montori (The Mayo Clinic).

Putting together the toolkit involved about 70 people in testing and criticizing paper and virtual versions of the 16 items. We also tested them at seminars at the University of Victoria (British Columbia) and at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, USA). We are very grateful indeed to all who participated in these processes for their interest and painstaking support for our work.
