This document outlines IG’s compensation guidelines for patients and caregivers who contribute their time and expertise to IG’s efforts (e.g., committees, working groups) or for patients and caregivers who are invited by IG to attend and participate in specific events (e.g., launch events, workshops, and meetings). These guidelines were developed for individuals who wish to be compensated, recognizing that not all individuals will wish to be. Payment for expenses (e.g., travel) are not considered to be compensation and are reimbursed separately.
These guidelines are meant to help start a conversation between IG and patient partners about compensation. IG values flexibility, equity, and inclusion in its approach to patient partner compensation.
