Patients First is delighted to offer consulting services to the U-M research community. We can provide input and advice regarding a broad range of patient-centered research ideas, for both initial grant applications as well as resubmissions. For best results, consult with us early in the research proposal planning process.
Our partnership with the U-M Center for Health Communications Research, a team of experts who specialize in helping researchers create innovative, web-based health interventions, allows us to facilitate connections and offer unique expertise in the area of intervention planning and development across the spectrum of patient-centered health research.
Consult with us early in the planning process for best results - ideally before you even begin writing your proposal!
Our Leadership Team has worked together for many years to conduct and disseminate research publications from research projects, mentor early career faculty, and have served as Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (IHPI) R01 Bootcamp coaches. Our Steering Committee adds depth and breadth to our team's knowledge base. Check out the Who We Are page for more information!
We encourage researchers at all career levels to consult with us, particularly early career faculty. You can meet with us independently or bring along your mentor(s), co-investigators, or staff to participate in the consultation. Our goal is to share our knowledge to benefit you in a positive, collaborative way.
We can help with topics such as:
Assessment of your idea's "potential for impact"
Methods and approach planning
Preliminary data needs assessment
Study team planning
Budget considerations
Patient research engagement strategies
Draft specific aims review
Please note that we are not able to offer statistical advice or review of final proposal materials (such as complete grant applications).
