PPIE in research includes Involving (researchers and people with lived experience working as partners, being consultative, collaborative and empowering) and/or Engaging (researchers informing diverse audiences of scientific progress). The judging panel particularly welcomes applications that focus on involvement. Applications are invited from early career researchers along with a key PPIE contributor they have worked with. Each member of the pair will need to contribute to this form.
Applications will be accepted for PPIE work that has reached a point of having impact, even though it might not be considered entirely 'finished'. The research it is a part of might be a current programme or project, or have been completed within the last two years.
We define early career researchers as PhD students or post-doctoral researchers (including clinician scientists) who are establishing their career and have not yet applied for grants as an independent principal investigator (PI). Rare diseases are defined as those that affect fewer than 1 in 2,000 people. The award is not limited to particular disciplines and all early career researchers are encouraged to apply, whether their research is in, for example, basic science, therapeutic development, applied/translational or psychosocial research.
Please ensure that if you are including personal information about your public contributor(s) in this application (such as a personal email) that you have secured explicit consent to do so.
