The 71 awards support PCORI’s five national priorities for research, and include the first 19 awards for the priority area of accelerating patient-centered outcomes research and methodological research. Here is the number of awards granted for the four other priority areas:
• Assessment of prevention, diagnosis and treatment options — 24 awards
• Improving healthcare systems — 13
• Addressing disparities — nine
• Communication and dissemination research — six
These awards, which will go to organizations in 20 states and Washington, D.C., bring the number of PCORI-awarded projects to 197, totaling $303 million in funds since 2012, according to the news release. PCORI plans to grant more than $400 million to patient-centered research projects by the end of the year.
In addition, PCORI’s board of governors approved a $9 million contract to create a coordinating center for a national data network. A consortium led by the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute will serve as the proposed National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network to improve CER capabilities.
