Guidance for charities, other civil society organisations, researchers, research institutions and funders, to achieve successful research partnerships.

HRCI / PPI Ignite Network – Charities & Researchers Partnering Guide

This publication delves into the immense value that arises when charities and researchers partner to achieve societal benefit from research. The amalgamation of their distinct expertise and wisdom holds the potential to improve lives. However, despite the promise, there remains a lack of comprehensive guidance on how to navigate these partnerships effectively and address all relevant considerations.

This guide is the result of a collaborative effort between Health Research Charities Ireland (HRCI) and the PPI Ignite Network. We are grateful for the valuable input received from diverse individuals representing various roles within partnerships.
