Subject: [Caregiving] PCORI Pilot Projects Grant Program

 

Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute

 

 

PCORI’s first major funding opportunity will support approximately 40 projects that inform national priorities and advance methodology for Patient-Centered Outcomes Research. The purpose of the program is to inform PCORI’s ongoing development and enhancement of national priorities for patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR), support the collection of preliminary data that can provide a platform for an evolving research agenda, and support the identification of research methodology to advance PCOR. All application materials can be downloaded from the “Funding Opportunities” section of PCORI’s website, www.pcori.org  

 

PCORI intends to commit up to $26 million under this program – $13 million per year for two years – in support of approximately 40 awards. Support may be requested for up to $250,000 in direct costs per year. For this program, PCORI is interested in the development of research methods, patient-oriented outcomes instruments, patient-provider communication and other decision-making strategies, building collaborative research teams with stakeholders, translating research findings into clinical practice, stakeholder engagement, and research agenda setting strategies that can be used in future comparative effectiveness research.
