To all faculty, students, and community organizations conducting health research:

The Centre for Healthcare Innovation (CHI)https://www.chimb.ca/ is launching its annual PREPPP (Preparing for Research by Engaging Patient and Public Partners) Awardhttp://www.chimb.ca/preppp for pre-grant engagement of patients and the public in health research. There are five awards of $4,000 each available to Manitoba researchers, community organizations, and/or students who are planning to engage with people with lived experience (patients, caregivers, parents, families, communities, advocates, and members of the public) in the research design and grant development phase of their work.

To date, the PREPPP Award has funded early engagement for 39 projects, many of which have gone on to win larger grants and continue to engage with patient and public partners throughout their research. Some have also participated as presenters for CHI's Patient and Public Engagement Lunchtime Learning serieshttp://www.chimb.ca/pe-lunchtimelearning. Information about previous winners, eligibility, and the application form can be viewed at www.chimb.ca/preppphttp://www.chimb.ca/preppp.

Applications will be accepted until 5:00 pm on November 9th, 2021.
