The team provides strategic guidance on PPI, Policy and EDI challenges. They assist with grant applications, often co-writing engagement grants and engagement sections of larger bids. They also plan, facilitate, and evaluate PPI focus groups and events, ensuring these are both meaningful and methodologically sound.

Finally, the team brokers connections across the research engagement ecosystem—referring researchers to opportunities and collaborators, connecting them with community organisations, and navigating internal systems by liaising with insurance, facilities, and finance teams. This support increases the effectiveness of the engagement and drives impact.

We have dedicated pages with links to detailed resources specifically for policy engagement, public engagement, translation, innovation and commercialisation and patient engagement ('PPI', patient and public involvement).

The team can help you, no matter what stage your ideas are at or what type of engagement you want to do. They can provide support for:

• Grant applications for engagement activities
• Engagement sections on research grants
• Facilitation of focus groups
  
• Workshop development and facilitation
• Generating ideas
• Evaluation
• Stakeholder identification
• Supplies and prep for events
• Connecting you to collaborators in and outside the University
• Contract writing for external collaborators
• Event logistics

Please contact any member of the engagement team to discuss your support request.
