PCORI peer review process of the draft final report

Providing a version of the results summary that will be useful and comprehensible for use by patients and the general public

In the draft section (Page 7, Item 1. Translation for patients and the general public) regarding translating the medical professionals' abstract into a lay person's abstract geared toward an 8th grade reading level, it is proposed that this will be done by PCORI staff. Might it be possible that this translation could be done by patient/stakeholder members of your review panel pool (for example), then submitted to PCORI staff for final review and editing?

Submission of results table to ClinicalTrials.gov and/or other sites as appropriate, with a link to the abstract and standalone results table on PCORI’s website

Public posting of full final reports on PCORI’s website

Awardee institution notification to PCORI of submission to journals and subsequent publication of papers resulting from funded projects

Please add any comment about your rating:

Please comment on the proposal’s feasibility given any competing obligations that awardee institutions funded by PCORI, or their investigators, may face.

The law requires that PCORI both conduct peer review of our funded primary research and make it available publicly within a specific timeframe. We propose to conduct peer review first, then post the results, so they can benefit from the review process. Do you agree or disagree with the sequencing of this process? Somewhat Agree
