Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI): PCORI Funding Announcements 2021

PCORI funds research that offers patients and caregivers the information they need to make

important healthcare decisions. PCORI’s “National Priorities and Research Agenda” can be found

here: https://www.pcori.org/research-results/about-our-research/research-we-

support/national-priorities-and-research-agenda. PCORI pays particular attention to conditions that

affect large numbers of people across a range of populations; conditions that place a heavy burden

on individuals, families, specific populations, and society; and rare diseases, which are difficult

to study.

On 9/7/21, PCORI announced a funding cycle that includes multiple PCORI Funding Announcements

(PFAs) on broad and targeted research topics, large clinical trials, and methodology studies. They

include:

• Broad PFAs seek investigator-initiated applications for patient-centered comparative clinical

effectiveness research (CER) aligned with PCORI research priorities: addressing disparities;

assessment of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment options; communication and dissemination

research; and improving health systems.

• Improving Methods PFA aims to fund studies that address high-priority methodological gaps in

patient-centered outcomes research and CER. Programmatic priorities include methods to improve the

use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in clinical research, enhance study design, and

support data research networks.

• Targeted Research PFAs seek CER projects on specific topics: healthy aging (maintaining

function and independence, facilitating chronic disease management, supporting individuals with

significant functional impairment, reducing caregiving burden and improving quality of life),

osteoporotic fractures, and migraine prevention.

• Phased Large Clinical Trials accepting Letters of Intent for research to fund large,

innovative clinical trials in CER pursuing research questions focused on patient-centered outcomes

on high-burden, high-impact health topics in real-world clinical settings.

Letters of Intent for all the above PFAs are due October 5, 2021.

Combat Readiness – Medical Research Program Rapid Development and Translational Research Award

W81XWH-21-S-CRRP: Combat Readiness – Medical Research Program Rapid

Development and Translational Research Award

Description: The CRRP focuses on forward-deployable solutions that can promptly address life-

threatening injuries, medical threats, and treatments for Warfighters in current and future

battlefield settings. The CRRP vision is to deliver high-impact medical solutions in diverse

operational settings and closer to the point of injury to increase survivability and Warfighter

readiness. The program seeks to develop innovative solutions to increase medical readiness,

mitigate fatalities, optimally treat life-threatening injuries, and promote positive long-term

outcomes. The program also considers how chronic disorders typically associated with pre-

deployment readiness (e.g., sleep, gastrointestinal conditions, posttraumatic arthritis) may

influence the delivery of care in deployed environments and contribute to injury susceptibility and

recovery. Innovations developed by CRRP-supported research may be applied proactively as a way to

establish medical readiness ahead of deployment, in operational settings at the point of injury,

during periods of prolonged care, or during transport/en route between roles of care.

Focus Areas broadly describe current priorities to improve readiness for delivering frontline care

in combat situations and for delivering medical damage control capability, assets, and life- saving

interventions during prolonged and en route care in austere and combat environments, including the

acute and early management of combat-related trauma at the point of injury.

They include solutions to enhance combat care delivery throughout the far-forward environment, such

as:

o Telemedicine solutions that enable medical capabilities at far-forward battlespace locations

worldwide

o Solutions for the assessment of mild traumatic brain injury, to include portable devices

Awards funded under this mechanism may propose a base award with a potential option year (not

required) to be considered for funding with a future appropriation, if available.

Pre-app due: 31 August 2021

Invitations for Full Application Submission: 15 October 2021

Full app due: 1 December 2021

Max Period of Performance: 2 years (3 years with option)

Budget: CDMRP expects to allot approximately $7.2M to fund approximately four

proposals/applications.

of health care services on the delivery, quality, cost, access to and outcomes of such services,

including demographic, social, economic, and health system factors as they relate to providing

preventive, screening, diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitative services and patient outcomes

of care. Research may focus on any/all of the different factors that impact access, utilization,

and quality as related to outcomes of health care services.

Applicants are encouraged to create collaborative teams which may include clinical experts not

only in the traditional NIDCD mission areas, but also in other medical specialties and health care

professions as well as experts in sociology, health services, health outcomes, economics,
