Can applicants who have applied for previous PCORI awards also apply for the Engagement Awards?

Yes. Organizations may submit applications for Engagement Awards funding regardless of whether they have either applied for or received previous awards from PCORI. In their application, organizations should note any other applications concurrently submitted to PCORI or projects currently funded by PCORI so our staff can confirm that there is no overlap between projects.

NOTE: Applicants that have previously received PCORI funding will be reviewed competitively with all other applications. A prior PCORI award does not determine or guarantee an applicant’s future acceptance for funding.

Organizations that have previously received an Engagement Award are eligible to apply if their current/former project is being expanded, the content will be delivered in new formats, and/or the geographic breadth and/or audience reach will be broadened.
