Deadline: 1 October 2024
The Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute is intended to promote the targeted implementation and systematic uptake of shared decision making (SDM) in healthcare settings, in line with PCORI’s mission of supporting patients in making informed decisions about their care.
The program supports projects that propose active, multicomponent implementation approaches that address existing barriers and obstacles to the uptake and maintenance of effective SDM strategies, with the goal of effectively and sustainably integrating these interventions into practice.
PCORI defines an SDM strategy as an intervention or approach that draws on and presents evidence to inform patients of available treatment options and their risks and benefits and either engages patients in a decision-making process with their clinician or promotes their ability to engage in such a process.
Funding Information
- Grant amount: $2.5 million in direct costs.
- Duration: 4 years.
Eligibility Criteria
- To be eligible for this PFA, applicants must do one of the following:
- Propose to implement an SDM strategy that was formally tested and demonstrated to be effective in the context of a PCORI-funded research award.
- Propose an implementation project that will incorporate new PCORI funded clinical comparative effectiveness research evidence into an existing and tested SDM strategy and then will implement the updated strategy in a practice setting.
- Applicants proposing to implement an SDM strategy that was formally tested and demonstrated to be effective in the context of a PCORI-funded research award must be the Principal Investigator (PI) of the original PCORI-funded research project or be a member of the original PCORI-funded research project team.
