Letting you focus on the science.
PCORI Reports
Final reports for PCORI are demanding to write, and they arrive at a difficult time. By the end of a funded study, your attention is on the work ahead. Yet the report requires:
- Exhaustive detail across a long, complex research arc that often spans seven or more years from application to closeout
- Strict compliance with PCORI-specific requirements that take significant time to learn and apply
- Substantial staff time that would be better spent on active research
- Careful attention at a moment when your priority is peer-reviewed publications, not funder reporting
How Intellerate can help
Laurie Silverberg founded Intellerate to help research teams navigate the documents that matter most. Laurie drafts your PCORI final report—handling 80–90% of the work—so your team can focus on the contributions that only you can make. You provide the raw materials. She does the writing.
For projects that require it, Laurie draws on a trusted team of consultants to provide statistical review or graphic design support.
Background and expertise
- Professional writer and editor with experience navigating complex funder requirements
- Six years as Administrative Director of the Wisconsin Surgical Outcomes Research Program (WiSOR)
- Ability to rapidly absorb technical content across unfamiliar fields and translate it into clear, compliant narrative
- Sound editorial judgment about which decisions belong with the research team and which can be resolved independently
Pricing
PCORI provides funding for precisely this kind of support during the peer review stage of your project. Intellerate offers project-based, predictable fees you can include in your PCORI budget.
Draft a fully compliant PCORI report
You’ve already produced the substance: progress reports, protocols, statistical analysis plans, slide decks, publications. Intellerate works from what you have, translating that material into the structured narrative PCORI requires—and identifying any content gaps early, before they become problems during review.
Stay current on PCORI's requirements
PCORI’s reporting requirements are specific, they evolve, and their guidance documents aren’t always easy to parse. Intellerate maintains working familiarity with what PCORI expects—structural requirements, content standards, formatting conventions—and applies that knowledge directly to your report.
Manage internal stakeholder review
Are you tracking down comments from collaborators, reconciling conflicting feedback, and following up with people who haven’t responded? Intellerate manages the review process end to end—circulating drafts, consolidating input, flagging unresolved issues, and keeping the document moving toward submission.
Drive the schedule
Intellerate builds and owns the production schedule, sets internal deadlines, and follows up with contributors. The result: an on-time submission without last-minute crises.
“Working with Laurie on our PCORI research report was an outstanding experience. She played a key role in drafting the report and delivered exceptional work. Laurie was professional, easy to collaborate with, communicated clearly throughout the project, and delivered work on time or early. The quality of the final report was so strong that it sailed through the internal PCORI review with flying colors. I would gladly work with Laurie again and highly recommend her for research writing and report development.”
