Grant Applications and Patient Public Involvement (PPI)

About

Are you applying for grant funding from a major funder or charity?  Do you want to work with patients and the public on your grant application but aren’t sure how or aren’t sure how to evidence it? In this course, we will explore what grant funders’ requirements are in terms of PPI, when you should be seeking patient and public input and how and where to include PPI in the grant application. This course is for you if:

• You are looking to find out what funders such as the Wellcome Trust and NIHR expect in terms of Patient Public Involvement (and engagement);
• You want to know how to truly incorporate meaningful PPI into the design and delivery of applications;
• You want to know how to work with Patient co-applicants;
• You want to be able to evidence your PPI activities in your funding application; and
• You want to know what activities you should be involving people in.

Bring along a current application you are working on or a future research idea you intend to seek funding for and develop your PPI plan for your grant application.

Tutor

This course will be delivered by Carol Porteous, the PPI Lead from Edinburgh Clinical Research Facility (CRF). She will be joined by members of the CRF PPI Panel, who will provide a public/patient perspective on the themes discussed.
