Sooooo.. THANK YOU to @PCORI for leading the way and helping us put the patient and family first. Today, we are storming Capitol Hill to personally ask our Congresspersons to reauthorize this important work in 2020 and beyond!!!

They’ve built a huge network of patient- and clinician-run databases to harness more big data and to promote data sharing for faster answers to big questions! This network is @PCORnetwork!

...#PCORI also funded a $2.8M comparative effectiveness study to benefit children affected by #Chiari and #syringomyelia whose lead investigator is CSF medical board member, Dr. David Limbrick!

#PCORI has already funded research that directly addresses our conditions, which usually go understudied from other research bodies...

#PCORI is funding research that MATTERS to patients and families affected by chronic illness. They’ve funded over $2B in comparative effectiveness research in the few short years they’ve been around!

#PCORI puts patients and caregivers first in research. They understand that no one knows a condition better than the people who are affected by it every single day.
