behavior? Which laws have the greatest impact? Can current laws be made more
effective through better enforcement, or do they require amendment?
  • Up to 18-month awards of up to $150,000 each for short-term studies.

  • Up to $1 million will be available under this call for proposals (CFP).

  • June 18, 2013 (2:30 to 3:30 p.m. ET)—Optional applicant Web conference call. Registration is required. Please visit the program’s website for complete details and to register.

    Clinical Data Research Networks (CDRN): Improving Infrastructure for Conducting Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR)

     Additional Information:
    http://www.pcori.org/funding-opportunities/funding-announcements/clinical-data-research-networks-cdrn-improving-infrastructure-for-conducting-patient-centered-outcomes-research-pcor/


    Description:
    The goal of PCORI’s National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network Program is to improve the nation’s capacity to conduct comparative effectiveness research (CER) efficiently, by creating a large, highly representative electronic data infrastructure for conducting clinical outcomes research. Specifically, this program will promote a more comprehensive, complete, longitudinal data infrastructure; broader participation of patients, clinicians, health systems, and payers in the research proccess; and improvements in analytic methods for both observational and experimental CER. Through this funding announcement, PCORI seeks to support new or existing Clinical Data Research Networks (CDRN) that will develop the capacity to conduct randomized comparative effectiveness studies using data from clinical practice in a large, defined population.
