PCORI Dissemination and Implementation Funding Initiatives

PCORI’s Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) Program currently offers 3 funding opportunities that supports projects that actively facilitate the uptake and integration of evidence from PCORI-funded projects. The 3 funding opportunities include:

1. Open Competition PCORI Funding Announcement: Implementation of Findings from PCORI’s Research Investments

This is an Open Competition funding opportunity that seeks to draw on the expertise, creativity, and capacity of a broad applicant pool, including implementation experts and diverse stakeholder partners. This PFA seeks to fund large-scale implementation projects that promote the uptake of peer-reviewed findings from specific, high-priority, PCORI-funded research topics.

2.  Limited Competition PCORI Funding Announcement: Implementation Awards

The intent of this limited PFA is to move evidence developed with PCORI research funding toward practical use in improving health care and health outcomes. PCORI will fund projects that aim to implement patient-centered clinical comparative effectiveness research (CER) results obtained from PCORI-funded studies, in real-world practice settings, and, in selected cases, projects that focus on the dissemination of these findings.

3. Implementation of Effective Shared Decision Making Approaches in Practice Settings

This opportunity promotes work to integrate effective shared decision making approaches in healthcare settings, to help patients and their clinicians make choices that are best for them. For this PFA, PCORI defines an SDM strategy as an intervention or approach that draws on and presents evidence to inform patients of available treatment options and their risks and benefits, and either engages patients in a decision-making process with their clinician or promotes their ability to engage in such a process.
