Notice of Upcoming PCORI Funding Announcement: Symptom Management for Patients with Advanced Illness – Cycle 2 2018
05.08.2018
Dear
Colleague,
We
would like to inform you that the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute
(PCORI) will be releasing the Symptom Management for Patients with Advanced
Illness PFA for Cycle 2 2018.
The
goal of this funding initiative is to support patient- and caregiver-centered,
comparative clinical effectiveness research to generate important findings that
will aid decision making about symptom management in advanced illness. PCORI
seeks to fund multiple high quality clinical studies that compare the
effectiveness of evidence-based treatments for relief of common symptoms
experienced by patients with serious, advanced illness.
The
mission of the PCORI is to improve the quality and relevance of evidence
available to help patients, caregivers, clinicians, employers, insurers, and
policy makers make informed health decisions. We invite you to review this
funding announcement on our website and share this information with others who may be interested.
The
full funding announcement will be released on June 1, 2018. While this
funding announcement was originally released in Cycle 2 2017, PCORI has made
some changes to this version. We invite you to register for the Town Hall on June 19, 2018.
If
you have any questions, please contact sciencequestions@pcori.org.
