PCORI Snapshot
Medical research, or patient-centered CER, funded by PCORI concentrates on health and healthcare challenges that confront people every day, including cancer, diabetes, maternal morbidity and mortality, opioid addiction, intellectual and developmental disabilities, rare diseases, mental health and equitable access to care, among many others. By funding research studies that compare multiple approaches to care, we provide people with information that helps them better understand their care options and which might be best for them.
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is an independent, nonprofit research organization that seeks to empower patients and others with actionable information about their health and healthcare choices. We fund comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER), which compares two or more medical treatments, services, or health practices to help patients and other stakeholders make better informed decisions.
Since its authorization by Congress in 2010, PCORI has awarded more than $4.5 billion to fund more than 2,400 research and related projects (explore our research portfolio). PCORI-funded research studies produce important results that are published in leading medical journals and presented at major scientific meetings. Results from studies we have funded are also taken up in a variety of clinical guidelines. We post results from every study we fund, with versions for both patients and clinicians.
