On Monday, May 13, 2019, Friends of PCORI Reauthorization members sent letters to both the House and Senate expressing their strong support of the reauthorization of Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). The letters urge Congress to enable PCORI to continue its work toward achieving smarter and more efficient health care spending by considering the following recommendations:
- Reauthorize PCORI and its current funding mechanism for at least an additional 10 years.
- Ensure PCORI stays true to its mission of patient-centered research by maintaining its mandate to conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research.
To read the recommendations in full detail, read the House letter and the Senate letter.
