SCTO online course: PPI in a Nutshell

10.03.2022 - The Investigator Initiated Clinical Trials (IICT) 2022 call of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) requests that applicants address their approach to patient and public involvement (PPI) both in their letter of intent (LOI) as well as in the application itself.

To support clinical research professionals who are considering applying for an IICT 2022 grant with the rather new PPI requirement, the SCTO will provide an online course „PPI in a nutshell“ on two different dates:

  • 12 April 2022, 13.00 - 15.00
  • 6 May 2022, 9.00 - 11.00

This PPI in a Nutshell online course is targeted towards clinical research professionals who are considering applying for an IICT 2022 grant. It discusses why PPI is particularly useful for the planning and development of clinical trials and provides hands-on advice and examples for an effective and meaningful PPI approach.

This online course is directly linked to the IICT 2022 call. It is not intended to train participants on all aspects of implementing PPI in academic clinical research.

Participation in this online course is free of charge, but registration is compulsory. The course language is English.
