Prepare for our soon-to-be announced grants (maximum award $30,000) focused on improving the diagnostic process in one of the following theme areas:

1) Innovation to create new or better tests and test strategies;

2) Innovation to improve test utilization (particularly reducing underuse, overuse, and misuse of tests and imaging procedures);

3) Innovation to reduce diagnostic errors (particularly reducing delays in diagnosis);

4) Integration of data sets of diagnostic tests as markers of risk with clinical information and other important data sets such as the microbiome, social determinants of health, behavioral medicine.

Proposals must include Interdisciplinary teams led by junior faculty with mentorship from senior faculty.

Sponsored by the Collaborative for Diagnostic Innovation, and made possible by a generous contribution from Brook and Shawn Byers in addition to funds contributed by participating departments and centers and the Practice Management Group. The program is administered through the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (Lydia P. Howell, MD, Chair).
