Curious about how to successfully pivot your research toward PCORI (Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute) funding? Drawing on experience as a PCORI merit reviewer, Principal Investigator of three funded Improving Methods awards, and lead statistician on a large comparative effectiveness trial (PLACER award), this session will demystify the process from both sides of the table.
