CHILD-BRIGHT offers honoraria in recognition of the contribution of partners with lived and living experience, or PWLEs (formerly known as patient-partners), in research, governance, and other activities.

The term “PWLE” refers to children, youth, and former pediatric patients with lived and living experience of a brain-based developmental disability who are involved in patient-oriented research (POR) projects, committees, and other CHILD-BRIGHT activities. It may also include research partners who are parents, caregivers, or family members of children, youth, and former pediatric patients with lived and living experience of a brain-based developmental disability.
