The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology awarded a $1.998 million cooperative agreement to the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) on September 22, 2025, under the Leading Edge Acceleration Projects (LEAP) in Health Information Technology program (CFDA 93.345).

NORC, in partnership with Elimu Informatics, Inc. and Emory Healthcare, will enhance an existing hypertension application by integrating Health Level Seven Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)-based subscriptions to demonstrate real-time clinical data exchange between electronic health records and third-party applications. The project addresses Special Emphasis Notice Area 1, which seeks to demonstrate the readiness of FHIR-based subscriptions as a foundational health IT capability for improved interoperability. NORC will conduct a pilot study assessing feasibility and scalability through two real-world use cases: automated identification of patients eligible for enrollment in a remote pregnancy-induced hypertension monitoring program, and real-time follow-up with patients and clinicians to enable prompt clinical response to elevated blood pressure readings.

The cooperative agreement runs from September 22, 2025, through September 21, 2030, with place of performance in Illinois. The obligated amount is $1.998 million.
