How should applicants include the methodology standards in the research strategy?

In the Research Strategy section of the Research Plan Template, applicants should describe in detail the research strategy and plan, and should demonstrate how the proposed study is responsive to the PFA. As of Cycle 2 2017, applicants are no longer required to cite the PCORI Methodology Standards in the Research Design/Approach (Section D) of the Research Strategy Template. Instead, applicants must now complete the PCORI Methodology Standards Checklist and upload it as a single PDF with the Research Plan Template to PCORI Online.
