PatientsLikeMe RFP for PCORI Funding

Last month, the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) released a funding announcement entitled, “The National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network: Patient-Powered Research Networks (PPRNs)—Phase One.” Through this solicitation, PCORI seeks to establish a set of Patient-Powered Research Networks (PPRNs) that complement PCORI efforts to establish a national infrastructure of Clinical Data Research Networks through a separate funding announcement.

As an early pioneer of PPRNs, PatientsLikeMe plans to submit at least one Letter of Intent (LOI) to PCORI next month to declare our intention to submit a funding application later this year. We are looking for research partners who share our patient-centric values and desire to build a continuously learning healthcare system to join us as joint collaborators on our June LOI submission to PCORI. We welcome the opportunity to team with academic researchers, pharmacies, clinicians, patient advocacy organizations, and others who wish to partner with PatientsLikeMe.

DownloadRFPTo that end, we have authored a Request for Proposals (RFP) that outlines the nature of our expected funding application and the information we require from interested collaborators. The goal of the RFP is to identify quality research partners capable of defining high-value, patient-centric research goals worthy of PCORI funding that can be built upon PatientsLikeMe’s existing digital infrastructure and data model. Requirements for responding to this RFP are described in further detail within the RFP itself.

We look forward to receiving high-quality responses to this unique funding opportunity no later than Wednesday June 12, 2013.
