Welcome

DCU PPI Ignite is funded by the Health Research Board and the Irish Research Council and conducted in partnership with our five partner organisations; Epilepsy Ireland, Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Ireland, the Medical Research Charities Group, the Irish Advocacy Network and the International Network towards Alternatives and Recovery.

What is the PPI Ignite Network at DCU

Patient and public involvement (PPI) is research conducted ‘with’ or ‘by’ members of the public rather than ‘to’, ‘about’ or ‘for’ them. The PPI Ignite Network at DCU  aims to support and promote capacity building at an organisational level for high quality public and patient involvement in DCU health and social care research.
