Description
This Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) opportunity provides supplemental funding to existing Broad Pragmatic Studies (BPS) awardees for projects that develop and validate measures to advance the science of engagement in research. The focus is on creating robust tools and methodologies to systematically assess stakeholder engagement—encompassing structure, context, process, and outcomes—among research partners throughout the research lifecycle. The initiative aims to address critical evidence gaps by supporting studies that contribute to a stronger, actionable evidence base for meaningful engagement of patients, families, caregivers, and other stakeholders in patient-centered research.
