I am a researcher. Where can I find support for designing PPI involvement and funding for PPI at the research design stage?

The National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Research Design Service supports researchers to develop and design high quality research proposals for submission to the NIHR and other national, peer-reviewed funding competitions for applied health or social care research. This support is provided free of charge.

You can find your local RDS here: http://www.rds.nihr.ac.uk/

Information about funding for PPI at the research design stage can be found here: www.rds.nihr.ac.uk/ppi/funding-award.
