As the largest voluntary funder of cancer research in Ireland, the Irish Cancer Society is committed to putting patients, survivors, families, carers, supporters and the public at the very heart of what we do. To do this, we work directly with people affected by cancer to ensure that they are embedded as partners within the cancer research processes in Ireland through public and patient involvement in research (PPI).

A major priority of the Society is making sure that cancer researchers around the country understand what PPI is and the value of PPI in research. The Society work with all researchers from traditional lab-based scientists to data scientists and doctors, and even nurses and allied health professionals; helping them incorporate PPI into their research projects.
