September Grants Administration Community Open Mic – Patient Advocates in Peer Review [September 25, 2024]
This Grants Administration Community open mic featured a discussion about using patient advocates in the review process! We had pre-planned speakers and a lively discussion in which attendees shared their thoughts, questions, pain points, and pro tips. This webinar was a follow up to a question posted to the HRA listserv over the summer.
As a reminder, the Grants Admin Community holds monthly webinars in an open mic-style format—unless there is a topic that lends itself to an invited expert speaker(s)—around one-to-three pre-planned topics of member interest based on common listserv questions and per member request to spark candid discussion. These webinars are not limited to the scheduled topics, and will unfold as the conversation dictates, offering common problems and potential solutions.

- Andrew Smith and Sonia McStay, Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation
- Elizabeth Cooper-Realhorn and Jessica Biddinger, American Heart Association
