NSF-NIH Smart and Connected Health Aspiring PI Workshop
NOTE: To maximize workshop learning objectives, we encourage workshop participants to prepare a short (max 1 page) summary of their project, preferably with a schematic or figure to discuss with program directors.
Abstract: NSF-NIH Smart and Connected Health Aspiring PI Workshop will be an informational and interactive opportunity for Smart and Connected Health (SCH) Aspiring Investigators to develop skills and address the knowledge gaps necessary to submit a successful SCH proposal. The goal of the SCH program is to accelerate the development and use of innovative approaches that would support the much needed transformation of health and healthcare. The mission of the Smart and Connected Health program is the development of next generation health and healthcare research through high-risk, high-reward advances in connecting data, systems and people through fundamental advances in information science, computer science, behavioral and social sciences, engineering and medicine. Realizing the promise of disruptive transformation in health and healthcare will require well-coordinated, multidisciplinary approaches. The Aspiring Investigator workshop will support the development of researchers interested in submitting research to the SCH program. The workshop will accomplish this through mentorship and didactic sessions to acquaint Aspiring investigators with the key issues associated with SCH, the joint NSF-NIH review process, and the breadth of existing projects funded by the SCH program.
