ITHS Preclinical Engagement Program (PEP)

Limited Submissions

Note: This is not a limited submission and is being announced as a courtesy only.

The Institute for Translational Health Sciences is offering UW researchers access to their Preclinical Engagement Program (PEP). The program aims to connect clinical researchers with community advisors to co-develop research interventions and drive impactful, patient-centered studies.

What is the Preclinical Engagement Program (PEP)? Interested in Participation?

  • PEP is a new and free program, for preclinical researchers, from the Institute of Translational Health Sciences at the University of Washington.
  • The program uses Community Engagement principles to match preclinical researchers with community members to serve as advisors on their studies.
  • The goal is to bring the perspectives of patients and communities into the early stages of research, ensuring research decisions are informed by the real-world experiences, needs, and priorities of those impacted by the health outcome being studied.

What are the benefits to participating in PEP?

  • Integrate community perspectives into your preclinical research.
  • Leverage insights from your community advisors to refine approaches and overcome
  • implementation barriers.
  • Forge meaningful connections to enhance your content expertise and align with evolving research priorities.
  • Utilize support from the PEP Coordinating Center to recruit your community advisors.
  • Access PEP funding to compensate your community members for their contributions

If interested in participating, complete the PEP Intake Form.  

If you have questions, contact Sonia Bishop (PEP Coordinator) at skbishop@uw.edu.
