Methods for Setting Priorities in Research (White Papers)
The Methodology Committee of the Patient-Centered Outcome Research Institute (PCORI) has been tasked with preparing a Methodology Report by May 2012 that outlines existing methodologies for conducting patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR), proposes appropriate methodological standards, and identifies important methodological gaps that need to be addressed. This solicitation addresses one set of methods relevant for PCOR; methods for research prioritization. The purpose of this RFA is not to identify research priorities for PCORI, but to solicit papers that can provide insights into how selected methods for identifying research priorities might be used by PCORI to inform the process of establishing research priorities. These methods can include: (1) Approaches for Topic Generation for Comparative Effectiveness Research; (2) Use of Gap Analyses in Establishing Research Priorities; (3) Value of Information Analysis; and (4) Peer Review for Research Prioritization.
