About the HTAi PASS Program
HTAi’s Patient and Citizen Involvement in HTA Interest Group (PCIG) has established the PASS program to provide financial and moral support to patients and their representatives (including representatives from patient organizations and HTA committees) to attend the HTAi Annual Meeting. PASS grant recipients can expect financial support for travel to/from the meeting, along with lodging and registration costs. In addition, PASS grant recipients will be joined and supported by patients, HTAi volunteers and staff to ensure an enjoyable and valuable experience.
Repeat grant recipients welcome!
PCIG recognises that patient participation at the HTAi Annual Meeting has an important role in capacity building and we value ongoing contributions and attendance. Therefore, past grant recipients are encouraged to apply and applicants should note that receiving a grant this year WILL NOT RULE YOU OUT next year.

The funds will be administered by the HTAi Secretariat.
