Funding: Managing Pain

New Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) funding opportunity: Up to $12 million in direct costs for studies with a duration of up to five years.

Studies should:

• Focus on interventions that improve patient-centered outcomes in patients with acute or chronic pain
• Include evidence-based, impactful, patient-centered outcomes as indicated by patients, families, and caregivers (particularly those with lived experience) from the population of interest, as well as relevant members of the broader health and healthcare community
• Examine diverse populations with an overall sample size that will allow precision in the estimation of hypothesized effect sizes and, as appropriate, analysis of heterogeneity of treatment effect

PCORI is particularly interested in submissions that address the following Special Areas of Emphasis (SAEs), although applicants are not limited to these areas:

• Urogynecological and pelvic pain
• Pain in individuals living with limitations in cognitive functioning
• Pain in individuals living with sickle cell disease
• Neuropathic pain
