Funding

It is recognised that PPI input is most meaningful when started as early as possible but that there is often not financial support available. Internal funding is available to enable PPI activities where there is no other budget to support them. This might be to support EMCRs wishing to submit a funding application or for DPhil students to carry out PPI activities. The funding is made possible by contributions from the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences (NDPCHS), the NIHR School for Primary Care Research (SPCR) and the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC).

Funding can be used to support a wide range of activities but is expected mainly to support PPI which will inform the development of a specific research grant application. It’s up to you to decide how to find and approach appropriate people for this work, and what form the PPI should take.

If you are awarded funding, you will be expected to write a short report about your PPI activities that may be published on these pages. You can read some reports of projects that have been funded: 

• Daniel Chen funding report
• Caity Roleston funding report
• Rebecca Garnett funding report
• Josephine Wallinger funding report
• Clare Goyder funding report
