Summary
The funding programs hosted on the national research portal support patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research and related health outcomes studies across the United States. These opportunities are structured as competitive research funding announcements that provide substantial financial awards to organizations that design research projects comparing two or more healthcare approaches, treatments, or delivery strategies. The overarching goal of these programs is to generate evidence that helps patients, caregivers, clinicians, and policymakers make better-informed health decisions by producing rigorous, patient-focused research outcomes.
Award amounts vary widely depending on the type and scope of the research initiative. Large research cycles have offered hundreds of millions of dollars in potential funding across multiple funding announcements, with individual projects or award categories often ranging into the multi-million-dollar level for large comparative studies that can extend over several years. Certain research categories may provide awards up to around $12 million per project or more, with some awards structured to support comprehensive multi-year studies that involve significant data infrastructure, clinical trials, or networked research collaborations.
Eligible applicants are typically nonprofit and for-profit research institutions, academic medical centers, university-based research teams, and healthcare organizations capable of conducting comparative clinical effectiveness research. Some funding tracks also include opportunities for organizations working to improve community engagement in research or to disseminate research findings to broader audiences. These dissemination-focused awards may offer smaller maximum budgets, for example, up to several hundred thousand dollars, to support efforts that actively share and implement research results in practice settings.
The research funding is available nationwide, with no state residency requirement, though projects must involve populations, health conditions, or healthcare decision areas relevant to U.S. patients. The intent of the awards is to advance healthcare knowledge, improve outcomes through evidence-based findings, and promote meaningful patient and stakeholder engagement in the research process.
