The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) invited participants for a webinar that provided the medical device industry community with an overview of PCORI and highlighted some of the ways in which industry professionals and researchers can get involved in our work. Presenters provided an overview of PCORI, explored our current portfolio of research and how it related to the medical device industry, highlighted a PCORI-funded project with meaningful engagement of a medical device manufacturer, and explored opportunities for funding. This was also an opportunity to learn how to get involved in patient-centered research and our work at PCORI.
