Why It's a Match

  • PCORnet node across four safety-net health systems and 3.1M longitudinal patient lives — provides the multi-site data infrastructure and patient population required for large, randomized or hybrid comparative effectiveness trials across the cancer care continuum.
  • Engagement studio for patient partner protocol reviews and established community-clinic relationships — supports the PCORI requirement for early, ongoing, and compensated patient/community engagement embedded in governance, analysis, and dissemination.
  • Organizational mission and technical focus (cancer survivorship/screening inequities, comparative effectiveness, community-clinic data collaboratives, digital health equity infrastructure) directly target high-burden populations and the evidence gaps this PFA prioritizes; the requested funding scale (up to $12–13M) is appropriate given the Lab's multi-system reach and $5–10M annual budget backed by system-level partnerships.
