How this is different than the Engagement Award: Conference Support award?

This funding announcement has a narrower approach than the Engagement Award: Conference Support award. These convenings must have a central focus and theme that unifies stakeholders, such as geography, health condition, or population. This award provides total costs up to $100,000. This is more funding than the Conference Support award because we do not view this as funding for a single track or workshop at an existing meeting, but rather a new meeting specifically focused on convening communities around patient-centered outcomes research/comparative clinical effectiveness research.
