Patient Engaged Partnership Research (PEPR)

Overview

The Patient Engaged Partnership Research (PEPR) Pilot Award (previously known as the Stakeholder and Patient Engaged Research, or SPER, Award) provides support for proposals that generate useful, real-world applications of interventions and facilitate the dissemination and uptake of research findings. This award emphasizes the meaningful involvement of patients, caregivers, clinicians and other healthcare partners throughout the research process.

PEPR RFAs are generally released annually in the fall for projects that start in the spring.
