ARRA-AHRQ Recovery Act 2009 Limited Competition: Electronic Data Methods (EDM) Forum for Comparative Effectiveness Research (U13)
RFA-HS-10-006
Program Summary
The Electronic Data Methods (EDM) forum will convene investigators who are conducting PROSPECT (Prospective Outcome Systems using Patient-specific Electronic data to Compare Tests and therapies) studies on comparative effectiveness of clinical interventions used in priority conditions and populations (please see RFA-HS-10-005), other experts in clinical registries, distributed research methods, health information technology and outcomes research, practicing clinicians, representatives from relevant organizations, and other stakeholders as needed. The EDM forum, through a series of meetings and workshops, will identify the challenges to conducting comparative effectiveness research using electronic data, including but not limited to scientific, technical, organizational, clinical, legal, and ethical issues, and challenges related to compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The EDM forum will propose realistic solutions to such challenges, or outline a research agenda and/or discussion that will advance resolution of the issues identified by the forum.
UIC is restricted to one application.
