Grant Description

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites applications for grants to develop, implement, and evaluate an education program for researchers on methodologies and methodological standards used to conduct comparative clinical effectiveness and/or patient-centered outcomes research (CER/PCOR). The purpose of this initiative is to build capacity in the national scientific workforce to conduct high quality CER/PCOR studies. Applicants will develop innovative programs that accommodate the educational needs of a respective professional field, employment setting, and/or researcher community. An education program must have multiple components and include basic, advanced, and experiential training opportunities. Programs may focus on the design and analysis of systematic reviews, technology assessments, observational studies, registries, clinical trials, and/or other approaches to CER/PCOR. Research methods guides produced by AHRQ and methodology standards adopted by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute are among the content materials that may be used to develop education program components.
