Is PCORI planning to award one applicant up to $4.5 million or will all funded SoE projects this cycle total up to $4.5 million, splitting the amount by the number of projects that are funded?

$4.5 million is the overall amount that will be awarded in the first cycle to all projects funded. By award category, we anticipate that will roughly break down to $1.5 million total for Rapid Measurement Studies and $3 million total for the Development and Testing of Engagement Approaches Studies. Per individual award, Rapid Measurement Studies may request funding up to $500,000 and Development and Testing of Engagement Approaches Studies may request funding up to $1.5 million (all in direct costs).
