Funding Opportunity – Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI): Addressing Disparities

Posted on by

We would like to inform you that the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) will be updating the Addressing Disparities Priority Area Research Areas of Interest, within the Broad PCORI Funding Announcement for Cycle 1 2018, with a focus on the following topics:

  • Diagnosis, Initiation of Treatment, and Retention of African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos along the HIV Care Continuum
  • Interventions to Reduce Disparities in Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Insomnia
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Delivery for American Indian/Alaska Native Populations with Opioid Misuse Disorders

The goal of these areas of interest is to support patient-centered clinical effectiveness research (CER) that addresses important questions regarding strategies to improve health and healthcare outcomes for vulnerable populations at risk for experiencing disparities.

Please note that for this Cycle 1 2018 funding announcement, we now have two options for direct costs and maximum project periods. Applicants may submit Letters of Intent for either awards of up to $2 million in direct costs over a maximum period of three years or awards up to $5 million in direct costs over a maximum period of four years.

PCORI’s mission 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 pre-announcement, available on our website, and share this information with others who may be interested. We also invite you to register for the Town Hall on February 1, 2018. The funding announcement will be released on January 16, 2018. 

NSF – Partnerships for Innovation (PFI)

Internal Limited Submission Deadline to the Office of Research Administration: Wednesday, December 20, 2017 at 5pm.

NSF Deadline: February 1, 2018

The NSF Partnerships for Innovation (PFI) Program within the Division of Industrial Innovation and Partnerships (IIP) offers researchers the opportunity to transform new knowledge into societal benefits through translational research and technology development efforts which catalyze partnerships to accelerate innovations that address significant societal needs.

This solicitation offers two broad tracks for proposals in pursuit of the six goals: 1. The Technology Translation (PFI-TT) track supporting proof-of-concept, prototype, or technology development and scale-up for broader collaborative activities and partnerships, technology licensing, technology spin-outs, and expanded entrepreneurial activity.  2. The Research Partnerships (PFI-RP) track provides an opportunity to support technology development activities through a multi-organization collaboration.

Limit on Number of Proposals per Organization: 2

An organization may submit no more than two (2) proposals to this solicitation. This eligibility constraint will be strictly enforced. In the event that an organization exceeds this limit, the first two proposals received will be accepted, and the remainder will be returned without review. An organization will not receive more than one (1) award from this solicitation.
