Reporting Practice reporting skills with input from all partners Reporting always shows why you do things, NOT just what you do Reporting should always reflect partnership engagement in work and decision making Reflect completed deliverables in reports. Report partners moving forward to Tier II with you Report CER recruitment and dissemination strategies Enhance reporting skills Report changes made to Communication Plan and/or Governance Document as restructuring occurs Report partnership’s engagement of National Stakeholder (if applicable) Report on posters or abstracts you are submitting to further engage stakeholders Report problems encountered and strategies used to problem solve Practice Grantsmanship (writing) skills on high level reporting Practice Grantsmanship (writing) skills Report on key sections of proposal being created Report engagement with all partners, internal and external Report failures as learning techniques translating to successes Discuss what type of funders you are looking for Reporting serves as the foundation to writing journal articles and communication pieces to inform others of your work and how they can build on it Know what is important to your funder and report what will resonate with them Reporting serves as a reflection of your partnership as a whole CER Grid Partnership creates list/table of ideas List of CER ideas reflect needs of the patients, interest of researchers, and the reality of the stakeholders Translate list of ideas to viable CER questions PICOTS framework should guide formation of CER questions Should be patient-centered and reflect partnership as a whole Use CER questions to develop and submit LOI Partnership as a whole contributes CER questions evolve from real world question to scientific question PICOTS framework translate CER grid to methodology section of research proposal CER research provides valuable information for patients, stakeholders and researchers
Accountability & Trainings Attend training and with your PAPO Use your PAPO as your guide in networking with others engaging in similar work Practice invoicing on monthly basis Maintain appropriate fiscal back-up documentation Use check-ins and trainings to build partnership and project Use lessons learned in Tier I to build on fiscal skills Reach out to your PAPO for tools needed to grow your partnership’s understanding of key deliverables out to your PAPO for possible networking opportunities with Awardees that have been through Tier II How will your Co-Leader be paid in Tier III, is it reflected in your budget moving into Tier III? Check-in with your PAPO and discuss what works or has worked when submitting a proposal Connect with similar researchers regarding opportunities Fiscally, your partnership should be able to create and justify a budget to carry out a research proposal Use the time you have with your PAPO to increase your engagement, grantsmanship, PCOR and other skills P2P sets the platform for you to confidently apply for and carry out your research funding All training should serve to prepare you to conduct research that will benefit you, science and the community at large
