Ok. Recently, I have been approached a lot to be involved as patient advocate in grant applications for cancer research projects. Let's call the entire experience *suboptimal*, so here are a few pointers, for researchers and patient advocates alike.
So, I totally get that no one exactly knows what patient advocacy is. I for starters started thinking about it after someone else called me a patient advocate after I which I felt obliged to have an opinion.
I also get that grants are stressful- I have never submitted anything that wasn't last minute (usually minus a margin, I'm not that crazy, usually). And that people read that 'you have to involve a PA'(= patient advocate *not* personal assistant) just before deadline
