PCORI is an independent, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization, authorized by Congress in 2010. PCORI’s goal is to help determine which of the many healthcare options available to patients work best in particular circumstances and to help patients, caregivers, clinicians, employers, insurers, and policy-makers make informed health decisions. More than $1.47 billion in research grants have been awarded through PCORI since its inception
