The Targeted Analysis Program supports projects that address questions of high value to both quality leaders and researchers. Projects are co-led by a Division of Research scientist and a regional clinical or operational leader. To be eligible, a project must primarily use existing data and must be feasible within 6 months or less with a budget of $40,000 or less. Projects are selected based on a competitive application process. Key selection criteria are the potential to contribute to operational excellence and potential to lead to a research product. 

Examples of projects include:

  • Blood pressure control: Finding opportunities to reduce disparities
  • Pediatric obesity: Weight tracking in a high-risk population
  • Electronic nicotine delivery systems: Identification in the electronic health record via natural language processing
 
Submissions for Cycle 20 are now closed. 
If interested, we strongly encourage you to contact Julie Schmittdiel, Targeted Analysis Program Director before you apply.
