What is the Fast Track Resubmission pilot and how are applications selected to participate?

This initiative allows selected applicants to revise and resubmit their application to the next available application due date, which enables them to bypass the Letter of Intent phase of the application process. This permits certain applicants to revise and resubmit their application one cycle earlier than our traditional funding processes. Eligible applicants are selected at PCORI’s discretion and invited by PCORI to participate at the time of release of summary statements. Applicants may not apply for Fast-Track Resubmission.

In order to be considered by PCORI for Fast-Track Resubmission, applications must meet the following criteria: 

• Addresses a priority area within the research portfolio
• Scored better than 50 at the Merit Review panel meeting 
• Submitted to a PFA offered every cycle (e.g., the Broad Pragmatic Studies PFA or Methods PFA)
