Engagement Award: Stakeholder Convening Support -- April 2024 Cycle

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) plans to award up to $25 million in fiscal year 2025 as part of the Eugene Washington PCORI Engagement Award Program.

The Eugene Washington PCORI Engagement Award Program supports projects that encourage active, meaningful involvement of patients, caregivers, clinicians and other healthcare stakeholders as integral members of the patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) enterprise. (Previous funding announcements used the term PCOR/CER.) These awards are for research support projects. This program is not a research funding opportunity.

The Engagement Award: Stakeholder Convening Support funding opportunity provides support to organizations and communities to hold multi-stakeholder convenings, meetings and conferences that include a combination of patients, caregivers, researchers, clinicians, purchasers, payers, health system leaders and/or other stakeholders. These convenings must have a focus on, and commitment to, supporting collaboration around patient-centered CER. Convenings should be designed with the active collaboration and partnership of patients, community groups and/or other stakeholder organizations. Projects should bring together diverse stakeholders around a central focus or shared priority that unifies stakeholders (e.g., geography, health condition, population) to explore issues related to patient-centered CER or communicate PCORI-funded research findings to targeted end-user audiences.
