The Patients’ Academy for Research Advocacy is expanding the ranks of patients and care partners who are willing and able to engage in research as full partners with a unique ability to advance science and medicine.
We do this because incorporating the lived experience of engaged, aware, and educated patients and care partners is critical to helping drug developers achieve the best results with the medicines they deliver to the public.
Our approach is to educate patients and care partners about drug development in a first-of-its-kind interactive training program.
Patients and care partners will learn how their expertise can make research more relevant to patients, and more efficient and successful for all stakeholders.
In-person workshops, specifically for patients and care partners
Interactive, with guest faculty selected from our partners in drug development, regulation, and patient advocacy
More in-depth than online tutorials
More accessible than other in-person programs, which are expensive, take months to complete, or are restricted to patients with a particular disease
Practical, with an emphasis on understanding key decision points during drug development
Geared toward advocacy for research, products and outcomes that meet patients’ needs
