Spurring Community Involvement in Research
"I believe the more we involve communities in research, the stronger the partnership will be between doctors and patients." —Sergio Sanchez
Research Fundamentals: Preparing You to Successfully Contribute to Research
 |
People new to health research or patient-centered research have many questions: What is patient-centered outcomes research? How does the research process work? How can I be an effective partner on a research study? To help answer these questions, PCORI's new on-demand training is designed for those who want to learn more about the research process. Research Fundamentals is a self-paced training that uses plain language to describe patient-centered outcomes research. It can help everyone, regardless of experience, engage and contribute with confidence. The modular format and downloadable glossary will help users quickly and easily apply what they’ve learned. |
Engagement in Healthcare Research
Engagement Tool and Resource Repository for Patient-Centered Outcomes Research
 |
PCORI is committed to advancing patient-centered, stakeholder-engaged research and the meaningful involvement of patients, caregivers, clinicians, and other healthcare stakeholders throughout the entire research process. We do this to ensure that the results of the studies we fund are relevant, trustworthy, and more likely to be used in practice. PCORI also supports the uptake of engagement practices and methodologies within the broader healthcare research community. To encourage the spread of these practices, this searchable peer-to-peer repository contains engagement-related tools and resources developed and used by PCORI awardees. It includes resources that can inform future work in patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR). |
