The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is now accepting on-line letters of intent (LOIs) in four broad Priority Funding Areas (PFAs):
  • Addressing Disparities
  • Improving Healthcare Systems
  • Communication and Dissemination Research
  • Assessment of Prevention Diagnosis and Treatment Options

The LOIs are due February 14. LOI templates, some reflecting new page limits, were made available on the PCORI website on January 17.

“These grants represent an outstanding opportunity for Buffalo Translational Consortium researchers,” said Timothy F. Murphy, MD, SUNY Distinguished Professor and director of the University at Buffalo’s Clinical and Translational Science Award. “The priorities for patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research spelled out in the PCORI announcement are aligned with our CTSA goals.”

Researchers interested in applying for the Cycle I 2017 round of PCORI grants are encouraged to take advantage of the support services provided by UB’s Clinical Research Office. The CTSA’s clinical research facilitators will respond to service requests posted on line to the CTSA Service Request Portal.
