PCORI Solicits Feedback on Proposed Research Design Framework

 

Dear Division 28 Colleagues:

 

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) has announced an opportunity to submit feedback concerning its proposed framework for assessing the design of research that examines the safety and effectiveness of health interventions.  This framework is expected to guide the Institute's future decisions for soliciting and funding comparative effectiveness studies.  APA encourages individual psychologists with relevant expertise to submit comments and the deadline is February 17, 2012.  Instructions for submitting comments are included in the online Request for Information.

 

The proposed framework incorporates such factors as internal and external validity, precision, heterogeneity of risks/benefits across subgroups, ethical considerations, time urgency, logistical constraints, and data availability.  The Institute seeks comments on the list of factors, suggestions for alternative factors or frameworks, and discussion of how these factors apply in different research domains.  Respondents are strongly encouraged to provide examples or case studies demonstrating how designs are selected for particular research questions, including considerations of trade-offs among factors.  Relevant research domains listed include behavioral therapies, health promotion programs, and delivery system interventions.

 

PCORI was established by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the health care reform law) as an independent, non-profit organization to support research on how to most effectively prevent, treat, and manage diseases and disorders.  Read more about PCORI in APA's Psychological Science Agenda:

·         PCORI solicits public input on its research funding priorities (August 2011)

·         PCORI issues first funding announcement (October 2011)
