Research teams with patient partners: Collaborating on grant writing

The BC SUPPORT Unit has developed a two-part webinar series with patient partners on patient partnership in grant writing and peer review. The other webinar is Patient partners as peer reviewers: Getting started. These webinars will be recorded and available on the BC SUPPORT Unit’s YouTube channel.

Upon completion of this webinar, you will be able to:

1. Define patient-oriented research and lived experience
2. Understand how patient partners can contribute to the development of patient-oriented research grant proposals
3. Connect with a community of patient partner mentors and professionals who can provide more information
