PCORI Funding Announcement: Cycle III Application System Opens

Our online application system is now open for business for Cycle III funding for PCORI Funding Announcements (PFAs) issued under the first four of our five National Priorities for Research. There are three funding cycles each year for all of our PFAs. These PFAs correspond to the following national priority areas:

• Assessment of Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment Options - for projects that address critical decisions that patients, their caregivers and clinicians face with too little information.
• Improving Healthcare Systems - for projects that address critical decisions that face healthcare systems, the patients and caregivers who rely on them, and the clinicians who work within them.
• Communication and Dissemination - for projects that address critical elements in the communication and dissemination process among patients, their caregivers and clinicians.
• Addressing Disparities - for projects that will inform the choice of strategies to eliminate disparities.

We encourage you to review our Funding Announcements, all of which have been recently updated, and hope you consider submitting a Letter of Intent for Cycle III, supporting comparative clinical effectiveness research that will give patients and those who care for them the ability to make better-informed healthcare decisions.

You can learn more about all future funding milestones and access application materials, including our revised Application Guidelines, in the PCORI Application Center.
