Begin Day 2 of the 2025 PCORI Annual Meeting with energy and purpose. Join PCORI Deputy Executive Director for Patient-Centered Research Programs Harv Feldman and Board of Governors Chairperson Russell Howerton as they set the stage for the day by previewing the sessions ahead and highlighting one patient’s inspiring journey from patient and caregiver to community leader, patient advocate and champion of PCORI-funded research.

Discover how meaningful patient engagement can help research better reflect and serve communities. In this fireside chat, a patient and advocate and physician researcher will share their perspectives on patient and community engagement in research, answering the question: Who are we learning from, and how do we build on our learnings to make research more inclusive? Join us for a rich dialogue on elevating patients' voices and honoring their expertise to help ensure research is responsive to community needs.
