PCORI and Funding Opportunities

In late August, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) announced that it was on track to spend over $400 million on research awards in 2013. PCORI Executive Director Dr. Joe Selbey shared that about $88.6 million had already been awarded through the broad funding announcements tied to their national research priorities.

Visit PCORI funding awards to see the primary research and pilot project awards and view their interactive map to find awards by state or priority area. You can also check out the Funding Center which contains all of the resources applicants need  in order to respond to available funding opportunities.

The PCORI Online Application System will open on February 5, 2014 for the Spring 2014 Cycle.

The Grants and Funding LibGuide  was recently updated by the guide owner and MSK Reference Librarian, Isabel Sulimanoff.

This LibGuide provides a great starting point to available resources including a link to Research Technology and Management (link available to MSK staff only while on the network). This MSKCC department administers grant applications and awards.

From this LibGuide, you’ll be able to locate governmental and private grants and funding opportunities as well as a variety of databases and sources for the nursing community. In addition, funding RSS feeds have been set up and a selection of sources for grant writing tips has been showcased.
