The All-Island PPI Ignite Network Seed Funding Programme
The All-Island PPI Ignite Network has launched a Seed Funding Programme to help researchers, patients, members of the public, charities and community organisations work together on health and social care research.
The All-Island PPI Ignite Network has launched a Seed Funding Programme to help researchers, patients, members of the public, charities and community organisations work together on health and social care research. The Health Research Board has allocated €500,000 to support this seed funding programme.
The Seed Funding Programme is particularly intended to support PPI at an early stage, including before funding for a research project has been secured.
Two funding streams are available: Stream 1 provides up to €400 for smaller PPI activities and accepts applications throughout the year, while Stream 2 supports larger developmental activities requiring more than €400 and opens at specified times.
Funding can support activities such as developing new PPI partnerships, establishing PPI groups, involving patients and the public in research funding applications, and exploring new approaches to public involvement. Applicants must be based on the island of Ireland, and activities should support meaningful PPI in research.
