| | | | The Pilot Grants program awarded studies which either generate preliminary data and refine research strategies for subsequent extramural grant applications or develop the best approaches and methodologies to address complex translational and clinical research problems. The two categories included: 1) grants that focused on translational and clinical research and 2) grants that address a translational research question which could provide insights generalizable to other projects/diseases. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | The unmet need for devices developed for our younger children is predominantly felt by pediatricians, patients, and families. Despite the formidable progress that has been made, still most devices approved for children are studied only in patients >18 years old, and by manufacturers who develop these devices primarily for adults. These manufacturers obtain pediatric approval on the basis of study in the older pediatric subpopulation, the adolescents (18-21 years). The testing and approval of high-risk medical devices in pediatric populations <18 years old remains extremely uncommon. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | Funding for projects that use computers, information technology, and health sciences libraries to bring health-related information to consumers and their healthcare providers. The program focus is on innovation and outreach in which information access can reduce health disparities and support underserved communities that bear a disproportionate burden of disease. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | A three-phase competition to address the need for greater use of standardized patient-reported outcomes (PRO) data in clinical care and research. AHRQ invites technologists to compete for cash prizes for the development of an app capable of collecting standardized patient-reported outcomes (PRO) data in a range of settings, including primary and specialty care practices. | | | | Read More | | |
| |
| | | | Often novel insights emerge only when you juxtapose individuals with deep but disparate expertise around a common goal. The Emory School of Medicine (SOM) Imagine, Innovate and Impact (I3) Awards accentuate the theme of innovation, complementing existing WHSC supported Synergy awards, and fall into two categories in this initial round: (1) those focused on transformational research ideas (the I3 Wow! Research awards), and (2) those focused on novel ideas in medical education (the I3 Education awards). | | | | Read More | | |
