This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award in the amount of $273,188 will fund the development of a large language model and machine learning algorithms to improve communication between clinical researchers and participants in clinical trials. The goal is to optimize engagement and retention of trial participants in order to prevent trial failures. The project will use cluster analysis of communications data from several clinical trials to understand and model group behavior patterns, which will then be used to design customized communication strategies. This data-driven approach aims to improve clinical trial decision-making, schedule flexibility, and participant outcomes, as well as reduce no-shows and dropout rates. Docare LLC, a small disadvantaged business located in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is the prime awardee for this 12-month project, which commences on September 15, 2024.
