The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute invites letters of intent for its call on improving methods for conducting patient-centred outcomes research. This supports studies that address high-priority methodological gaps and lead to improvements in the strength and quality of evidence generated by patient-centred outcomes research (PCOR) and clinical effectiveness research (CER) studies. Particular attention is given to studies on the following:
- methods to improve the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in clinical research;
- methods to improve study design;
- methods to support data research networks;
- methods related to ethical and human subjects protections issues in PCOR and CER.
Public and private sector organisations may apply. A prime award contract to a non-US-based organisation must provide a justification for the research’s ability to benefit the US healthcare system and preferably include a key US-based organisation and co-principal investigator as a subcontractor. Individuals may not apply.
The total budget is USD 12 million. Projects may receive up to USD 750,000 each over a maximum period of three years.
