This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) totaling $459,867 provides funding to develop and clinically validate natural language processing methods, particularly neural language models, to extract and monitor immune-related adverse events (IRAEs) from electronic health records (EHRs) for cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. The project aims to improve IRAE identification, severity classification, and computational phenotyping to enhance cancer surveillance research and survivorship care. Key objectives include conducting a clinical trial to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of informatics-assisted IRAE detection, developing methods to extract IRAEs by severity grade, and optimizing generalist language models for IRAE information extraction. The award is held by Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc., with sub-awards to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Boston Children's Hospital to provide subject matter expertise, annotate data, and integrate existing natural language processing software.
