Deadline: 4-Oct-22
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is accepting applications to promote the targeted implementation and systematic uptake of shared decision-making (SDM) in healthcare settings, in line with PCORI’s goal of supporting patients in making informed decisions about their care.
The initiative will support projects that propose active, multi-component approaches to implementing effective shared decision making strategies that address existing barriers and obstacles to uptake and maintenance, so that these interventions are effectively and sustainably integrated into practice.
The SDM strategy must have demonstrated effectiveness on patient, caregiver, or healthcare provider decision making using widely accepted metrics; the corresponding implementation approach must have potential for use and scalability beyond the targeted implementation setting. Applicants should ensure that the proposed project team draws on sufficient expertise in both SDM and implementation science. Projects must incorporate rigorous evaluation of the implementation of SDM approaches, as well as the impact of the SDM processes in the targeted settings.
Funding Information
- Maximum Project Budget: $1.5 million total direct costs
- Maximum Project Period: Up to three years
- Funds Available Up To: $6.5 million per cycle.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for this PFA, applicants may either:
- propose to implement a shared decision making (SDM) strategy that was formally tested and demonstrated to be effective in the context of a PCORI-funded research award, or
- propose an implementation project that will incorporate new CER evidence from PCORI-funded research into an existing, tested, shared decision making strategy, and then implement the updated shared decision making strategy. Applicants proposing to implement a PCORI-funded SDM strategy must either be the PI of the original PCORI-funded study or be a member of the project team.
