At its in-person meeting on May 8, 2017, in Washington, D.C., the Board approved the development of two new PCORI Funding Announcements (PFAs) that together will offer up to $41 million in support of comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER). The PFAs will focus on two important topics: the best ways to deliver medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorders to pregnant women, and how to most effectively manage symptoms in patients with advanced illness. Each responds to key concerns voiced by healthcare decision makers. (Read more)
