PCORI is an independent nonprofit organization created by Congress to fund research that helps patients and their families make informed healthcare decisions. It sup- ports studies that compare which treat- ment options work best for different people based on the outcomes that are most important to the patients and their families. This approach, known as Patient-Centered Outcomes Research, or PCOR, requires the engagement of patients, caregivers, insurers, clini- cians, and others across the healthcare community throughout the research process (PCORI, 2016).
