Synopsis
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) seeks Leading Edge Acceleration Projects (LEAP) in Health Information Technology (Health IT) to address well-documented and fast emerging challenges inhibiting the development, use, and/or advancement of well-designed, interoperable health IT, which is scalable across the health care industry. Solutions are expected to further a new generation of health IT research and inform the development, implementation, and refinement of standards, methods, and techniques for overcoming major barriers and challenges in an innovative fashion as they are identified. It is critical that the field of health care innovate and leverage the latest technological advancements and breakthroughs far quicker than it currently does to optimize real-time solutions, especially in areas which are ripe for acceleration. Additional information and guidance for FY23 funding will be released by way of a Special Emphasis Notice.
