Purpose

The PCORI Ambassador Program is a national volunteer network designed to engage the healthcare community in strengthening the patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) and increasing the dissemination of PCORI-funded​ research.

Ambassadors determine how much time they can commit to the program.

Ambassadors:

  • Provide unique perspectives and ideas that support PCORI in its pursuit of helping patients and those who care for them make better-informed healthcare decisions
  • Serve as PCORI's boots on the ground, activating communities and helping them engage in CER more effectively
  • Prepare their communities to receive and provide feedback on research results
  • Share CER best practices, enabling their communities to be more engaged in the preparation, conduct, and dissemination of research

  • Patients
