Today, the Partnership to Improve Patient Care (PIPC) released a new flow chart - which supplements a recent White Paper, "Road Map for Prioritizing Research” - which graphically represents PIPC's recommendations for determining comparative effectiveness research (CER) priorities.
The question of how best to define research priorities, and whether to do so by proactively identifying specific topics or issuing broader solicitations for investigator-initiated prioritization, has been an area of ongoing debate in CER. Accordingly, the PIPC has long advocated for PCORI to identify a clear process for defining specific research priorities, and applauded PCORI’s recent announcements to (a) establish advisory panels to help set research priorities and (b) make more of its research funding decisions based on specific priority topics.
This flow chart is intended to identify key elements and serve as a high-level “road map” for PCORI’s consideration in setting specific priorities for research. Click here to view the White Paper, and here to view the Executive Summary.
