At its meeting on June 23, 2020, the Board approved $25 million to fund 10 new studies comparing the most effective ways to treat a range of health conditions that impose high burdens on patients, their families, and the health care system. Among the new projects receiving PCORI funding support are
- a California-based study examining strategies for improving care for people recovering from cancer surgery,
- a Minnesota-based study comparing two strategies for monitoring blood glucose for people with Type 2 diabetes who are insulin dependent, and
- a Tennessee-based study that compares the addition of a culturally tailored counseling strategy to see if it is more effective in improving diabetes-related outcomes among African-American women.
The Board also approved a Texas-based Implementation project on blood clot prevention, as well as up to $30 million for a new funding opportunity opening in September for research focused on interventions to prevent youth suicide. Finally, the Board approved up to $50 million in additional funding for COVID-19-related research.
