CER leadership Independent non-profit focused on comparative effectiveness research and patient-centered outcomes research, led by a former CMS CMO. Opportunity: pitch partnerships or consulting services that enhance CER standards, research infrastructure, and policy impact for broader evidence generation.

Policy influence Strong emphasis on policy and governance in health care evidence, with potential to collaborate on policy briefs, stakeholder engagement, and regulatory impact analyses for payers, providers, and patient groups seeking evidence-based decision support.

Funding scale Current revenue range indicates sizable grants or contracts may be pursued. Potential sales angle includes offering grant-writing support, project management, or data infrastructure services to align with funding opportunities in CER and PCOR.

Tech stack Uses cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud) and web technologies (jQuery, Onsen UI) suggesting openness to cloud-based data collaboration, secure research data portals, and scalable analytics solutions that can be offered as hosted services or integrations.

Industry positioning Smaller, highly specialized organization competing with larger CER players. Opportunity to differentiate with tailored consulting, flexible engagement models, and white-glove support for evidence generation, outcomes research methods, and dissemination.
