Description
This opportunity, offered by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), funds projects that convene patients, caregivers, families, and members of the healthcare community to advance patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) or to actively disseminate PCORI-funded research findings. Projects must center on either developing research topics and engagement plans for patient-centered CER or on disseminating the results of PCORI-funded studies to targeted audiences. Convenings may take the form of meetings, conferences, or similar gatherings and must demonstrate meaningful engagement, authentic partnership, and shared leadership. The initiative aims to expand the reach and impact of patient-centered CER and foster new collaborations and strategies for future research or engagement.
