Digital Health Technology and Reciprocal Innovation to Improve Clinical and Public Health Outcomes

The National Institutes of Health is seeking applications for a grant to support research on the development, validation, feasibility, and effectiveness of innovative digital health interventions or tools. The goal of this initiative is to improve clinical and public health outcomes in underserved settings in the U.S. and globally. Applications must include reciprocal innovation methodologies, which involve the bidirectional and iterative exchange of ideas, resources, and innovation approaches to address shared health challenges. Some key aspects of this opportunity include: • The use of new or emerging technologies, platforms, systems, and/or analytics to address high-priority health problems • The expansion of the evidence base for the use of digital health technology to improve clinical and public health outcomes • The strengthening of research collaborations between U.S. and low- and middle-income country (LMIC) researchers • The utilization of unique data, environments, and populations in domestic and international contexts to maximize generalizable knowledge produced and optimize potential benefit to U.S. and LMIC populations
