Research We Fund: Extramural Discovery Science
The Real-World Data Impact Award (RWIA) supports the goals of the American Cancer Society (快猫短视频) and Flatiron Health, Inc. (FHI) to accelerate cancer research that informs public health and public policy, and ultimately improve clinical practice.?
This request for applications (RFA) is a call for investigators to propose cancer research questions that utilize Flatiron Health’s database derived from the electronic health records (EHRs) from approximately?280?cancer clinics in the United States (~?800 sites of care).
FHI extracts and processes both structured and unstructured data from hundreds of thousands of patients’ EHRs. With this real-world data, FHI has developed 22 disease-specific longitudinal datasets with 30-day recency.
The goal of this RFA is to capitalize on the FHI datasets, where the health records of patients with cancer can inform how we treat and care for all patients with cancer. Interested applicants are encouraged to review that utilized FHI data. Here are some examples of possible research areas for this funding mechanism.
