The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute is inviting applications to fund high-quality patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) projects that focus on people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Priorities
- Applicants must address and self-designate their alignment with at least one of PCORI’s National Priorities for Health: To be considered responsive, applicants must propose research that meets this PFA’s distinctive requirements and addresses at least one of the following National Priorities for Health:
- National Priority for Health related to strengthening and expanding CER focused on existing interventions and emerging innovations
- National Priority for Health related to fostering improvements in patient-centered experiences, health care and health outcomes through research supporting a health system to serve the needs and preferences of individuals

- National Priority for Health related advancing the evidence for and the practice of dissemination, implementation and health communication.
Special Areas of Emphasis
- PCORI encourages submissions that address the following SAEs:
- Oral Health: Individuals with IDD have poor oral health compared to people without IDD. Living with poor oral health affects health and well-being among individuals with IDD.
- Gastrointestinal Health: Individuals with IDD experience gastrointestinal (GI) health-related symptoms and disorders, which are notably more prevalent, chronic and often more severe across the lifespan than in the general population.
- Improving Care Delivery: Individuals with IDD face barriers to accessing care. PCORI is interested in funding patient-centered CER comparing systems-level care delivery strategies to improve health outcomes for people with IDD.
