In order to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, PCORI will issue a new research funding announcement with an accelerated timeline to support innovative, high-impact studies that fit clearly within our core mission of patient-engaged and patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research. 

Applicants should be prepared to work independently and/or with PCORI to expedite dissemination of results.

Please note that this funding announcement follows an expedited timeline. Applications are due three weeks following the posting of the PFA. We encourage applicants to begin working on all components of the proposal, including a detailed budget, as soon as possible. 

This PFA preannouncement is provided to allow potential applicants additional time to identify collaborators, obtain stakeholder input on the research question(s), and develop responsive, high-quality proposals. Further details will be available in the full announcement to be released on May 5, 2020.
