PPI is a requirement of most funders. Therefore, any costs associated with PPI should be budgeted within your research grant.
RCSI PPI Budgeting and Reimbursement Guidelines should be used when costing for PPI involvement in your proposed research project. Examples include:
- Paying people for their time at meetings or reviewing documents
- Room hire costs
- Refreshments
- Travel expenses
