Seed Funding Call 2023/24

Applications have officially closed for the PPI Ignite Network @ University of Galway Seed Funding Call. Thank you to all of you who sent in submissions. An award announcement will be made in due time after the selection process so watch this space! 

Training and Education

We run PPI study days, seminars and workshops for researchers (and for the public and patients). PPI contributors co-facilitate some of these events with researchers, including our PPI catalysts and trainers/educators from elsewhere in Ireland and abroad.  We also deliver workshops and short introductory PPI seminars to research teams or other groups at University of Galway,  introducing attendees to the basics of PPI.

PPI Clinics

We run PPI clinics on a weekly basis (usually Thursdays) to discuss PPI challenges with researchers, community or patient organisations, and others. Click here email us to arrange a clinic. Clinics typically last 30-45 minutes and take place in University of Galway or virtually.

Supporting Researchers Grant Writing

The PPI Ignite @ University of Galway programme office provides supports to Principal Investigators/researchers across University of Galway  when planning/drafting a grant application. Support is provided to researchers from any discipline where the research includes outcomes that impact human health.  We encourage  researchers to email us (ppi@universityofgalway.ie) early in the planning process and when appropriate, we will schedule a PPI clinic to provide support on PPI aspects of the research.
