  • Review and discuss PCORI’s investments in infrastructure (PCORnet) that enables national-level CER and illustrate the ways in which PCORnet can be leveraged in a PCORI Research Award (I&I)
  • Describe how PCORI works liaises with applicants and awardees to facilitate their success throughout the application and award processes, from LOI submission and review to application submission, merit review, contract negotiation and execution, and the early post-award phase (CER, MR, CM)
