First and second PIER fund awarded for pre grant PPIE 😁 Involved developing new processes e.g., setting criteria for awarding applications, reviewing applications, delivering feedback on applications, informing applicants about the outcome, payment of funding to PPIE participants. Receptiveness to feedback on Pier fund applications has been positive. Further work streamlining processes with Yoga - digitalising application forms.
