PCORI today launched its
second cycle of funding requests to support $96 million in comparative clinical
effectiveness research that will give patients and those who care for them the
ability to make better-informed health care decisions.
|
|
As
with the first funding cycle, which opened in May, these PCORI Funding Announcements
(PFAs) correspond to four of the five areas of focus outlined
in its National Priorities for Research and Research Agenda:
- Assessment
of Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment Options - for projects
that address critical decisions that patients, their caregivers and clinicians
face with too little information.
- Improving
Healthcare Systems - for projects that address critical
decisions that face health care systems, the patients and caregivers who rely on
them, and the clinicians who work within them.
- Communication
and Dissemination - for projects that address critical elements
in the communication and dissemination process among patients, their caregivers
and clinicians.
- Addressing
Disparities - for projects that will inform the choice of
strategies to eliminate disparities.
Additional
PFAs, addressing PCORI's fifth priority, "Accelerating Patient-Centered and
Methodological Research" will be issued beginning this fall.
We
encourage you to review our Funding Announcements and hope
you consider submitting a Letter of Intent for Cycle II. All application
materials can be accessed from the Funding Opportunities section of
PCORI's website.
