Description
This funding opportunity provides support for organizations and communities to actively disseminate findings from PCORI-funded research to targeted audiences, including patients, families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. The goal is to increase awareness, knowledge, and uptake of patient-centered outcomes research results, thereby empowering stakeholders to make informed healthcare decisions. Projects must focus on active, tailored dissemination strategies—such as targeted communication, training, and outreach—rather than passive or untargeted approaches. The program does not fund new research studies, implementation projects, or the development of clinical interventions.
