Proposed Project: Provide Services for 

the Dissemination of CER to Patients 

and Providers To Increase Adoption— 

OMB No. 0990–New–Office Within 

OS—Assistant Secretary for Planning 

and Evaluation (ASPE). 

Abstract: 

This research leverages best practices 

in behavior change, interaction design, 

and service innovation to increase the 

understanding and adoption of 

Comparative Effectiveness Research 

(CER) information by physicians and 

patients. By truly understanding the 

desires, behaviors and attitudes of 

patients and care providers across 

various segments, this project can 

significantly improve the dissemination, 

translation, and adoption of evidencebased, outcomes-oriented CER findings. 

Comparative Effectiveness Research 

(CER) aims to provide patients and their 

doctors with the best available evidence 

that has been gathered from scientific 

research to make effective healthcare 

decisions. CER provides the latest 

thinking and recommendations on the 

risks and benefits of treatment and 

diagnostics as well as the confidence of 

those recommendations. In addition, it 

addresses individual patient factors 

such as quality of life and lifestyle that 

are included when making decisions 

about medical options. Widespread 

adoption of CER would lead to better 

outcomes for medical treatment and, in 

some cases, reduced cost. 

The purpose of this project is ‘‘to 

strengthen the link between evidence 

production and strategies for conveying 

this information in ways that encourage 

evidence-based behavior change among 

providers and patients. The central 

question is how best to get CER 

information to physicians and patients 

in a way they understand. This task is 

considered critical to capitalizing on the 

Department’s CER investment.’’ This 

will be a one year generic clearance 

request.

Proposed Project: Research Evaluation 

and Impact Assessment of ARRA 

Comparative Effectiveness Research 

Portfolio (New)—OMB No. 0990–NEW– 

Assistant Secretary Planning and 

Evaluation (ASPE). 

Abstract: Researchers and 

policymakers have emphasized the need 

for research on effectiveness of health 

care interventions under real-world 

conditions in diverse populations and 

clinical practice settings, that is, 

comparative effectiveness research 

(CER). The American Reinvestment and 

Recovery Act of 2009 (ARRA) expanded 

Federal resources devoted to CER by 

directing $1.1 billion to the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) for such research. 

ARRA also called for a report to 

Congress and the Secretary of HHS on 

priority CER topics by the Institute of 

Medicine (IOM). The report presented 

priority CER topics and 

recommendations to support a robust 

and sustainable CER enterprise. In 

addition, ARRA established the Federal 

Coordinating Council on Comparative 

Effectiveness Research (FCCCER) to 

help coordinate and minimize 

duplicative efforts of Federally 

sponsored CER across multiple agencies 

and to advise the President and 

Congress on how to allocate Federal 

CER expenditures. 

This project seeks to evaluate and 

assess the products and outcomes of 

ARRA-funded CER investments and the 

impacts of those investments on the 

priority topics recommended by IOM 

and on the categories and themes of the 

FCCCER framework. The primary goals 

of this evaluation are to (1) conduct an 

initial assessment of the ARRA CER 

portfolio, cataloguing how CER funding 

was invested to achieve the vision of the 

FCCCER and assessing initial impact 

from the perspective of various 

stakeholders; and (2) lay the 

groundwork for future CER investments 

by identifying investment opportunities, 

evidence gaps and lessons learned.
