PCORI Dissemination Initiative (United States)

Deadline: 1-Apr-25

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute is inviting applications for the Dissemination Initiative to spread awareness and increase knowledge of PCORI-funded research findings.

Strategies proposed will vary based on the results being disseminated, the relevant stakeholders identified as key users of the information and the goals of the dissemination effort. Proposed strategies must be appropriate and justifiable based on these factors. Systematic reviews of research on dissemination have outlined a range of dissemination approaches to spread awareness and increase knowledge. These include strategies to:

Increase the reach of evidence. These strategies purposefully distribute evidence to different targeted audiences and settings to increase the reach of information using different communication channels, such as mail, email, phone, text message, TV, radio, print, social media, webinar and mobile apps.
Increase motivation to use and apply evidence. These strategies focus on increasing interest in the evidence among targeted audiences and within targeted settings, using local champions, community leaders or groups, thought leaders or groups or experts to actively endorse or promote the evidence being disseminated.
Increase ability to use and apply evidence. These strategies enhance people’s ability to understand evidence and generally provide additional resources (how-to materials, training, etc.) relevant to the evidence.
