I submitted a prior BPS, Broad or Pragmatic Clinical Studies application. Would my Cycle 2 2023 submission to the BPS PFA be considered a resubmission?

PCORI defines a resubmission as an application that was not funded but did complete PCORI’s merit review process (i.e., the applicant received a summary statement). For research awards, PCORI does not limit the number of times an applicant may resubmit.

Note: Applicants who previously applied under either the Pragmatic Clinical Studies PFA (after Cycle 1 2021) or the Broad PFA and have received a summary statement from the prior submission are eligible to apply as a resubmitted application to the Broad Pragmatic Studies PFA.  Applicants that applied to the BPS PFA in the 2022 funding cycle year and received a summary statement are also eligible to resubmit.

If an LOI/full application was deemed nonresponsive and did not progress through the merit review process (i.e., the applicant did not receive a summary statement), it is considered a new submission and requires submission of an LOI.

All resubmissions, unless otherwise specified, require resubmission of an LOI.  Resubmitted LOIs should be responsive to previously received feedback.
