Both funding opportunities enable the support of PCORnet® studies using PCORnet, the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network, to advance PCORI's National Priorities for Health. PCORnet is accessible to all investigators interested in using the PCORnet infrastructure, which was designed to improve the nation's capacity to conduct large-scale patient-centered health research.
UNC is a participating PCORnet site under the STAR CRN. Mike Kappelman, MD is the UNC site principal investigator leading and promoting PCORnet as a national data infrastructure resource for all researchers within UNC interested in using the PCORnet Common Data Model (CDM) to their research questions, from observational studies to large-scale multi-network comparative effectiveness trials.
We invite any interested UNC researchers to submit for the grant opportunities above for Cycle 1 2024.
