Fig 1. Key challenges hindering PPI and a tool for researchers to develop strategies to overcome these challenges.

(A) Thematic analysis of a researcher discussion forum with preclinical researchers identified key challenges in the implementation and adoption of PPI into research practice. (B) A visual design tool based on the business model canvas, which we’ve called PPI Ready: Researcher Planning Canvas was developed to aid the individual researcher to explore their personal barriers to adopting PPI and map a strategy to overcome or circumvent them.
