Our online application system is now open for business for Cycle III funding for PCORI Funding Announcements (PFAs) issued under the first four of our five National Priorities for Research. There are three funding cycles each year for all of our PFAs.
These PFAs correspond to the following national priority areas:
- 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.
We encourage you to review our Funding Announcements, all of which have been recently updated, and hope you consider submitting a Letter of Intent for Cycle III, supporting comparative clinical effectiveness research that will give patients and those who care for them the ability to make better-informed health care decisions.
You can learn more about all future funding milestones and access application materials, including our revised Application Guidelines, in the PCORI Application Center.
For any questions please contact us at pfa@pcori.org.

Is there an interest to reduce health disparities among Asian American and Pacific Islanders by establishing an informal health system that would increase the health literacy and access to the healthcare system for those who are uninsured or under insured?
PCORI has an interest in testing interventions that reduce health disparities among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other key understudied populations. Using informal health systems to improve access to care and overcome barriers due to low health literacy would fit under our Improving Disparities Funding Announcement. We are committed to comparative effectiveness research efforts that tests strategies to overcome any barriers—language, culture, transportation, unemployment, lack of support– that could improve patient-centered outcomes.
