The Patients Program

Our Vision Patients and stakeholders are heard, inspired, and empowered to co-develop patient-centered research (PCR). Our Mission The PATIENTS Program partners with patients and care providers to answer questions about the best treatment options to improve health and quality of life. We engage people from all communities, especially those from underserved and minority populations, in every step of the patient-centered research (PCR) process. Through our collective efforts, we create an effective learning health care community. We listen to our patients’ voices so that we ask relevant and meaningful questions. We align research priorities with the values of patients and communities. We transform research to make it more relevant and patient-centered. We train patients, stakeholders, and researchers to become co-developers of PCR.
