The PCORI Annual Meeting brings together members of the healthcare community, including researchers, patients, caregivers, clinicians, insurers, health system representatives, and other stakeholders. The event serves as a report to the nation on PCORI’s progress in funding initiatives to determine which care approaches work best, for whom, and under what circumstances.

In 2021, PCORI presented six main sessions at its Virtual Annual Meeting. Five plenaries set the stage for discussions on each of PCORI’s proposed National Priorities for Health, while the closing plenary covered what we’ve learned during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fourteen breakout sessions delved into topics such as health equity and disparities, the fight against COVID-19, maternal morbidity and mortality, intellectual and developmental disabilities, engagement in practice, and more.
