Funding Opportunity: Moore Foundation Diagnostic Excellence Initiative
Moore Foundation Diagnostic Excellence Initiative
URL: https://moore-patientcare.smapply.io/prog/request_for_proposals/
OBJECTIVES:
In November 2018, the Moore Foundation announced its Diagnostic Excellence Initiative with a focus on diagnostic performance improvement. The initiative aims to reduce harm from erroneous or delayed diagnoses, reduce costs and redundancy in the diagnostic process, improve health outcomes and save lives. The initiative’s first area of focus is to develop and validate new measures for diagnostic performance. Examples of our first cohort of grants for diagnostic clinical quality measures are now available for review. Starting with measure development is important – currently, U.S. health care systems are unable to systemically measure diagnostic performance in real time, which limits the ability to quantify performance and guide improvements.
FUNDING INFORMATION: $500,000 over 18 months
ELIGIBILITY RESTRICTIONS:
- Applicants must be familiar with the U.S. health care system and have grant outputs feasible for implementation in the U.S.
