The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) announced the release of its new Foundational Expectations for Partnerships in Research. The resource is an update of the 2014 PCORI Engagement Rubric. It builds on a growing body of evidence about engaging patients and other partners in patient-centered comparative effectiveness research.
A webinar on April 4 will explore the foundational expectations, which PCORI describes as “building blocks for meaningful, effective, and sustainable engagement with patients, communities, and other partners in research.”
The 6 foundational expectations are:
- diversity and representation
- early and ongoing engagement
- dedicated funds for engagement and partner compensation
- build capacity to work as a team
- meaningful inclusion of partners in decision-making
- ongoing review and assessment of engagement
The April 4 webinar will describe the foundational expectations and explore how PCORI will incorporate them into future funding opportunities. This event is intended for current and future applicants for PCORI funding and anyone interested in participating in the healthcare research process. Register for the webinar.
PCORI is an independent, nonprofit organization authorized by Congress and is the nation’s leading funder of patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research.
