Help shape the future of patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research.

More than 1,000 members of the healthcare community convened for two-and-a-half days of updates on the how scientists, patients, and other stakeholders are working together to make clinical research more useful and relevant. National thought leaders, researchers, patients, family caregivers, clinicians, and others discussed key trends in patient-centered research, promising progress in PCORI-funded studies, and efforts to improve research methods and dissemination and uptake of important research results.
