Who is eligible to apply for the Implementation of Effective Shared Decision Making Approaches in Practice Settings funding announcement?

Project Focus: This PCORI Funding Announcement (PFA) is intended to further the implementation and uptake of evidence from PCORI-funded research. To be eligible for this PFA, applicants must do one of the following: 

• 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 PCORI-funded comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) evidence into an existing and tested SDM strategy, and then implement the updated strategy in a practice setting. PCORI strongly encourages applicants to include individuals with sufficient expertise in SDM and implementation on their proposed project teams.  

Applicants who are proposing to implement an SDM strategy that was formally tested and demonstrated to be effective in the context of a PCORI-funded research award MUST be the Principal Investigator (PI) of the original PCORI-funded research project, or be a member of the original PCORI-funded research project team. PCORI strongly encourages applicants to include individuals with sufficient expertise in both SDM and implementation on their proposed project teams.
