PCORI seeks investigator-initiated proposals to address the COVID-19 public health crisis with enhancements to currently funded PCORI Dissemination and Implementation awards. Only PCORI-funded investigators or project leads with active Dissemination and Implementation Award contracts are eligible to submit a proposal in response to this announcement.
PCORI has a strong interest in addressing dilemmas facing patients, clinicians, health systems, and other stakeholders and entities battling the novel coronavirus pandemic in the United States. We are interested in supporting work that can be initiated quickly to mitigate the outcome of the current pandemic by using existing teams with ongoing working relationships with PCORI. Taking advantage of natural experiments in health system, state, and provider responses is encouraged.
