How should the proposal address patient and stakeholder engagement?

PCORI recognizes many different forms of patient and stakeholder engagement. The research strategy must include an Engagement Plan that uses PCORI’s Engagement Rubric as a guide. See the Application Guidelines for resources including the rubric and PCORI’s Methodology Standards associated with patient centeredness. The application should also include engagement milestones. For example, these can include the recruitment of all patient/stakeholder research partners, results of annual surveys of patient/stakeholder partners, or meeting minutes of patient/stakeholder advisory councils.
