In keeping with this commitment, we have embedded Patient and Public Partnership (PPP) in our research processes. The majority of Irish Cancer Society grant calls will require researchers to detail their plans for including PPP in their proposed research. These partnership sections will be reviewed by people affected by cancer (PPP reviewers).
We recognise that partnering with people affected by cancer can be a daunting process for cancer researchers especially when first starting out.
At the Irish Cancer Society, we have been working with our Patient and Public Partnership since 2018, and we are happy to provide advice and support to cancer researchers on their PPI.
