PCORI helps patients, caregivers, clinicians, policy makers and other healthcare system stakeholders make better-informed health decisions—and improves healthcare delivery and outcomes—by funding research that produces high-integrity evidence about how to prevent, diagnose, treat, monitor and manage diseases, disorders and other health conditions, and by promoting the dissemination and uptake of this evidence. PCORI is committed to transparency and a rigorous stakeholder-driven process that emphasizes the engagement of patients, caregivers and the broader healthcare community in all aspects of PCORI-funded research and its dissemination and uptake.
The Eugene Washington PCORI Engagement Award Program, named in honor of the first chair of PCORI’s Board of Governors, is intended to bring more patients, caregivers, clinicians and other healthcare stakeholders into the research process. The goal is to support projects that will build a community better able to participate in patient-centered CER and serve as channels to disseminate study results. This is central to PCORI’s mission to fund useful CER that will help patients and those who care for them make better-informed healthcare decisions.
The Engagement Award Program supports PCORI’s Engagement Imperative defined in PCORI's Strategic Plan. The goal is to increase engagement in patient-centered CER—that is, the meaningful involvement of patients, caregivers, clinicians and other healthcare stakeholders throughout the research process.
This program is not a research funding opportunity.

Awardee Share and Tell Video Series
In response to the coronavirus pandemic, many awardees from the Eugene Washington PCORI Engagement Award Program have been pivoting from in-person engagement events to virtual settings. Some of these awardees have created videos to share valuable lessons and insight with the greater PCORI awardee community about successful ways to shift to or implement a virtual PCOR/CER engagement event.
