We also welcome applications from reviewers with expertise for our targeted PCORI Funding Announcements (PFAs). PCORI has used targeted PFAs to seek applications to improve asthma treatment in African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos, to examine obesity primary care obesity treatment options for underserved populations, and to study the effectiveness of transitional care in different healthcare contexts. We need reviewers with diverse perspectives and a range of expertise/experience to help us identify high-quality, patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research applications submitted in response to all of our funding announcements.

If you live in other countries in North America (Canada, Mexico) you are welcome to apply. We may recruit you to serve during a review cycle if you have expertise that is not represented by our current U.S.-based reviewers. If you live outside of North America, we cannot accept your application. Thank you in advance for understanding our effort to be good stewards of our funds.
