The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund projects for training and career development and dissemination and implementation
Public Law 111-148 established the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund (PCORTF). In fiscal year 2011, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services began receiving 20 percent of the funds appropriated or credited to the PCORTF.
