Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) released the Prevention, Early Identification and Treatment of Delirium in Older Adults Targeted PCORI Funding Announcement.
This funding announcement is seeking to fund high-quality, comparative effectiveness research (CER) projects that focus on the prevention, early identification, and treatment of delirium in older adults. PCORI will accept applications that propose rigorous multisite randomized controlled trials or robust well justified observational prospective studies. Applicants can propose to compare the effectiveness of single and multicomponent non pharmacologic interventions, pharmacological and/or nonpharmacological combination interventions. Applications focused on the needs of underserved, underrepresented, or historically excluded populations within hospital and long- term care settings are encouraged. Applicants will be asked to propose well-justified outcomes that are clinically meaningful and considered important by patients and/or their caregivers.
We invite you to review the funding announcement on our website for details and register for a town hall on January 24, 2022, at 12:00 pm (ET) where researchers and stakeholders will learn more about PCORI’s funding announcement on delirium.
