The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) aims to fund projects that enhance active involvement from patients, caregivers, clinicians, and other healthcare stakeholders in patient-centered outcomes research and comparative clinical effectiveness research. This initiative is in place to ensure that the healthcare community and its processes are inclusive, patient-focused, and aimed at improving healthcare delivery and outcomes.
The Engagement Award program by PCORI is geared towards enhancing engagement in research by ensuring the meaningful involvement of patients, caregivers, clinicians, and other healthcare stakeholders throughout the research process. This initiative aligns with PCORI's Strategic Plan and Engagement Imperative, aiming to produce tools and resources that bolster patient and stakeholder engagement in patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) and comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER). The program seeks to fund projects that contribute to the broader PCOR community, thereby facilitating informed healthcare decisions and outcomes.
