Patients, caregivers and
the broader health care community are invited to complete a survey on our website to propose specific
research questions. Each suggestion we receive will be carefully evaluated
through a selection process that will lead to targeted
announcements for research funding.
In addition to questions
about prevention, diagnosis and treatment options, we'd like to know what
information you need that could help us fund research to improve health
care delivery, address disparities of all types, improve how research is
communicated , or even improve the research process overall.
One example of a proposed
research question is: "Should I see my primary care physician, an
orthopedic specialist, or chiropractor for the best care related to my
chronic lower back pain?"
That's an actual question
we received through the form.
Join us! Please take a few
minutes to submit your research questions and become
part of PCORI's efforts to change the research
process by making the patient's voice a central piece of how our work is
done.
