Purpose

This grant program provides funding for organizations and communities to hold convenings that include patients, researchers, clinicians, purchasers, payers, health system leaders, and other stakeholders. Convenings should focus on supporting collaboration around patient-centered outcomes research and clinical comparative effectiveness research (PCOR/CER).

  • Shares knowledge of effective and/or evidence-based engagement methods in patient- centered CER with wider audiences
  • Fosters multi-stakeholder collaborations by developing partnerships for future engagement in patient-centered CER
  • Explores new opportunities for knowledge transfer, dissemination and/or implementation of patient-centered CER
  • Shares information about population or condition specific areas in the PCORI-funded research portfolio (active or completed) of relevance to the target audience to solicit feedback and suggestions for future patient-centered CER
  • Identifies PCORI-funded research findings of interest for dissemination and developing strategies for future targeted dissemination with and/or through the targeted audience
