About Us


The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is an independent nonprofit organization authorized by Congress in 2010.

PCORI is committed to continually seeking input from a broad range of stakeholders to guide its work.



Position Summary



PCORI's Research Synthesis and New Technology program is seeking a Program Officer for New Technology (i.e., emerging healthcare interventions), who will oversee a portfolio of projects related to emerging healthcare interventions.

In addition, the Program Officer will provide their expertise in emerging technologies to other programs across PCORI, as well as to external stakeholders.
