Funding Center

Our Funding Center contains all of the resources applicants need to respond to current PCORI Funding Announcements (PFAs), our broad calls for patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) projects based on PCORI’s National Priorities for Research and Research Agenda.

We have announced two cycles of primary research awards since releasing the first of our PFAs in May 2012 and plan one more round in our first funding year. As of May 15, 2013, when we entered our second full year of primary research funding, we revised our PFAs and associated application guidelines to clarify key review criteria and application definitions.

Most of our primary research funding is awarded in response to PFAs. We also plan to issue more targeted funding announcements, seeking proposals to study particular high-priority CER topics, as well as offer special one-time and other funding opportunities.
