RFA-HS-14-006: Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) for Treatment Options in Uterine Fibroids: Developing a Prospective Multi-Center Practice-based Clinical Registry (P50)

AHRQ and PCORI Partner on Uterine Fibroid Project

AHRQ and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) have issued a Request for Applications (RFA) for a research project on the effectiveness of different treatments for uterine fibroids. In a first-time partnership with AHRQ, PCORI will commit up to $20 million to develop a national registry of women who have been treated for uterine fibroids and to fund studies on the comparative effectiveness of medical and surgical therapies, and to better understand patient preference in informing treatment decisions using data from the registry. The RFA calls for development of a large, multi-center, practice-based registry that must include women from diverse backgrounds, including those who traditionally have been less involved in health research. Letters of intent may be submitted to AHRQ by November 15 and applications are due by December 16. Select to access the RFA.
