About Us 

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is an independent nonprofit organization authorized by Congress in 2010. Its mission is to fund research that will provide patients, their caregivers and clinicians with the evidence-based information needed to make better-informed healthcare decisions. PCORI is committed to continually seeking input from a broad range of stakeholders to guide its work. 

Position Summary 

As Program Officer, Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) for the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), you will play a central role in the program’s funding initiatives and other activities. Your primary focus will be overseeing the funding of implementation projects aimed at putting high-quality evidence into practice to improve health care and health outcomes and monitoring and supporting the successful completion of these projects. This includes critically assessing letters of intent and applications outlining proposed implementation strategies and plans, assessing program evaluation plans to ensure the results will be meaningful, and interacting with funded teams throughout their projects.

You will also support the D&I Program Team by developing well-written briefing and presentation materials and providing strategic input on initiatives. Reporting to the D&I Associate Director, you will work closely with the team at all levels and collaborate with departments across PCORI.

It often takes years for new evidence from clinical research to influence health care. Many times, these findings never reach patients and families who could benefit from the information. PCORI is the leading funder of patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research in the US—a driving force in ensuring clinical research provides more actionable information to patients. The D&I Program promotes the awareness, uptake, and integration of evidence from PCORI-funded studies into real-world practice.

Your ability to communicate effectively and manage a complex portfolio with a high level of initiative and precision will be essential for success in this role. The right candidate has a deep understanding of how US healthcare systems work, can critically evaluate research findings, connects the broader context and implications of the work while keeping track of small details, and shares our commitment to ensuring the results of research bring real benefits to patients.
