A research team at the Brown University Center for Statistical Science has been approved for a $920,991 funding award by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) for a methodology study on Bayesian Machine Learning for Causal Inference in EHR data with Missing Covariates.
The study was selected through a highly competitive review process in which patients, caregivers and other stakeholders joined scientists to evaluate the proposals. Oganisian and Gutman’s funding award has been approved pending completion of a business and programmatic review by PCORI staff and issuance of a formal award contract.
PCORI is an independent, nonprofit organization authorized by Congress with a mission to fund patient- centered comparative clinical effectiveness research that provides patients, their caregivers and clinicians with the evidence-based information they need to make better informed health and healthcare decisions.
