To date, we have awarded approximately $172.2 million to support 837 projects advancing patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) through the Eugene Washington PCORI Engagement Award program, including

  • An initiative led by Auburn University to train Korean immigrants with limited English proficiency, their family members, community leaders and healthcare providers from Lee County, Alabama, to actively engage in designing and promoting future patient-centered CER in the rural South

  • An endeavor led by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey to strengthen mutual understanding and visioning among village leaders who are actively working to ensure the growth, sustainability, and impact of Village organizations within a specific community, alongside gerontological and health researchers to develop individual, organizational and network capacity for engagement in patient-centered CER in the context of villages as a patient- and community-centered structure for healthy aging

  • A project led by the Network for Excellence in Health Innovation to create and convene a patient advisory group (PAG) with representation from Black individuals residing in Appalachia who have lived experience with substance use disorder (SUD) and motivate and advise researchers to engage with the PAG in pursuing patient-centered CER that advances effective telehealth SUD treatment

  • An undertaking led by AllianceChicago to build infrastructure and capacity to democratize research findings so community health center (CHC) clinicians have more access to patient-centered CER relevant to their clinical practice and patient needs, and to support CHC clinicians in applying this knowledge in practice to improve patients’ health status and experience

  • An initiative led by National Eczema Association to recruit a diverse group of eczema patients, caregivers and researchers to form regional research hubs to increase capacity to partner in the design and conduct of eczema patient-centered CER
