The hardest thing about submitting a grant application is often not knowing what the judges are looking for. So, with the call now open for this year\u2019s NIHR Imperial BRC Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) grant scheme funding, but the deadline fast approaching, we thought we\u2019d ask both past winners and members of the judging panel to share their thoughts and insights on what makes a winning patient and public involvement proposal\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThis small grant scheme is a great opportunity for our researchers to show their creativity. In previous rounds we were impressed with the range of new ideas, many of which are now showcased via our blog<\/a>. We are always looking for proposals that will lead to meaningful conversations between scientists and lay partners, interactions that can help shape research and engage wider groups. \u00a0This year, we are particularly interested in ways to make public involvement and engagement more inclusive, so think about the groups that are often missed, and what steps might be taken to make an activity more accessible. We also value the use of different communication channels \u2013 face-to-face is good for some involvement and engagement, but other media may reach different people. I\u2019m looking forward to reading the applications and working with our lay partners to score these and then invest in some great innovations!\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Member of the judging panel<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cSubmissions should demonstrate a clear understanding of how the unique skills and experience of patients and members of the public will contribute to proposals. \u00a0We expect to see innovative methods for inclusion of all representative segments of our diverse community, including hard-to-reach ethnic groups and young adults, who are often absent from PPI opportunities.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"Maria Piggin \u2013 PERC Patient & Public Involvement Officer<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Member of the judging panel<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe concept of Patient & Public Involvement has been around now for over 20 years, so I\u2019m hoping to see some really innovative proposals that demonstrate how far we\u2019ve come in this field, or ideas that may form the basis for more extensive work (and funding applications) in the future. Ideally the public will have been involved in drafting the PPI proposal for this submission and to reflect best practice, I\u2019d like to see that teams have thought about what support and training they need to provide those they involve, as well as how much of the budget will be allocated to paying people for their time and contributions, or reimbursing expenses (in line with the recommended guidance).\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"Nathan Green \u2013 Research Fellow<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Winner of NIHR Imperial BRC PPI grant funding for LoL-Lab<\/a>, 2016-2017<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI think what made our application successful was firstly the innovative angle we decided to take in co-creating with members of the public. I wanted to try something novel that was ambitious and exciting. We also had an emphasis on recruitment in the application; who, where and how would we do this. Especially looking back, I really appreciate the importance of putting plenty of focus on this, in order to reach our target communities.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you feel you need any more advice or guidance, please do visit our PPI Resource Hub<\/strong><\/a>, read our\u00a0PPI case studies via this blog<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and make use of our downloadable Rough Guide to Public Involvement<\/strong><\/a> (pdf)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For more information about the grant scheme and to confirm eligibility, read the guidance document<\/strong><\/a>. And if you\u2019re ready to apply, please email us your completed application form<\/strong><\/a> (ppi@imperial.ac.uk<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Due to requests from a number of applicants, the closing date for this round of applications has been extended to Monday 19th<\/sup> February, 5pm<\/strong>. But if you feel you still need more time to prepare and will miss this deadline, another round should be opening later this year.<\/p>\n

For any informal enquiries, please contact Maria Piggin (m.piggin@imperial.ac.uk<\/a>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/p>\n
