Our Focus

PACER supports comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) to empower individuals in making informed healthcare decisions. By generating evidence through research shaped by patients, caregivers, and the wider health and healthcare community, PACER aims to enhance healthcare delivery and outcomes.

In PACER-funded research, patients, caregivers, and other engaged communities actively participate as equal partners. By sharing their lived experiences and insights, they help ensure studies are more patient-centered, relevant to real-world needs, and capable of delivering meaningful outcomes.

Activities to promote awareness and encourage the use of findings from PACER-funded research help bridge the gap between research and real-world practice. These efforts support patients, caregivers, and others in making more informed health decisions, while also enhancing care delivery and patient outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is clinical research, and why is it important?

Clinical research helps develop new treatments, drugs, and medical procedures. It is essential for improving healthcare outcomes and advancing medical science.

What role do patient advocates play in clinical research?

Patient advocates represent the voice of patients, ensuring that studies are ethical, patient-centered, and transparent. They help improve the design, communication, and conduct of research.

Informed consent is the process through which participants learn about the risks, benefits, and purpose of a study before agreeing to join. It ensures voluntary and knowledgeable participation.

How can I become a patient advocate in clinical research?

You can become an advocate by receiving training in research ethics, protocols, and regulatory processes. Our website provides training resources and opportunities to get involved.

Is it safe to participate in a clinical trial?

While all trials carry some risk, they are carefully reviewed by ethics committees and regulatory authorities to protect participants’ rights and safety.
