Christopher Cox, MD, MHA, MPH, assistant professor of medicine (Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine), will receive a grant from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), which today announced its first round of funding for patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research projects.
Cox's project is "Improving Psychological Distress Among Critical Illness Survivors and Their Informal Caregivers."
PCORI is authorized by Congress to conduct research to provide information about the best available evidence to help patients and their health care providers make more informed decisions. PCORI’s research is intended to give patients a better understanding of the prevention, treatment and care options available, and the science that supports those options.
Also receiving a PCORI grant is Janet Prvu Bettger, ScD in the Duke School of Nursing, for "Comparative Effectiveness of Rehabilitation Services for Survivors of an Acute Ischemic Stroke."
