Spotlight: Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI)
Research Development Brown Bag Lunch Webinars
July 28, 2025
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM America/Chicago
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) funds patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER). CER compares the benefits and potential harms of different healthcare options, generating evidence that empowers patients, caregivers and other healthcare decision makers with information to make informed choices that reflect their needs and preferences. CER is vital in today’s healthcare landscape because we have an ever-increasing number of effective care options for many conditions. Too often, people face choices without information to help them weigh the tradeoffs of their options and make informed decisions for themselves or their families. PCORI’s unique place in the health research landscape stems from its focus on patients and their outcomes. PCORI is widely recognized as a leader in driving U.S. clinical research to be more patient-centered, which results in evidence that is more relevant and useful.
Session attendees will learn directly from PCORI program staff about how to partner with the institute to improve patients’ lives through CER. Faculty, postdoctoral scholars and staff researchers working in a variety of clinical disciplines will benefit from the information presented in this session.
