Supporting patient-centered research at the University of Michigan
Launched in 2021, the Patients First Innovation Initiative seeks to provide expertise, promote multidisciplinary collaboration, and support research broadly focused on improving patient-centered care. We are pleased to offer the following services and opportunities to researchers across the University of Michigan:
Consult with Patients First about your patient-centered research idea. We can provide expertise on a variety of topics. Click for more information about this service.
Funds earmarked to support pilot or intervention prototype development work. Click for more information, including past awardees and application instructions. Note: new applications are currently closed. Stay tuned - we hope to offer another round of funding in the fall of 2024!
Our first retreat was an exciting day of shared ideas, stories of success and brainstorming for the future. Several Awardees were able to share significant results in research that was directly funded through the Patients First Initiative.
