Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for three-year demonstration projects to study the feasibility of, and develop best practices for, using interoperable health information from older adult research participants. Applicants will partner with one or more actively funded research studies that are enrolling or re-consenting older adult participants. The projects are expected to collect medical information from electronic health records (EHRs) shared by participants, combine the information inside of a digital infrastructure, and create approaches to harmonize the data across patients and providers. The projects should also develop approaches to analyze health conditions prevalent in older adults in the harmonized medical data through informatic methods, such as natural language processing. Proposals should consider the potential impact of the project on the outcomes of the partner study, as well as broader impacts overall.
