: In this paper, we report on the evaluation of PPI processes used during the development of a NIHR Phase 1 grant application for a clinical trial. PPI partners were involved in all PPI activities, co-developed an online form to gather feedback on key issues of the trial and suggested the evaluation of PPI processes using an online form. All respondents were PPI partners, were aware of the purpose of the evaluation, and how the findings would be used. This was a PPI activity, for which neither research ethics committee (REC) nor formal informed consent procedure is required according to Health Research Authority guidelines in line with the UK Policy Framework for Health and Social Care Research [ ]. All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations, including the UK Standards for Patient and Public Involvement in Research [ ].
