This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Medical Library Assistance (CFDA 93.879) federal grant program provides $619,057 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to develop statistical and machine learning methods to address the issue of disease under-diagnosis using electronic health record (EHR) data.

The key products and services to be delivered include: (1) risk-based approaches to identify patients in EHRs who may be under-diagnosed, (2) unbiased comparisons between diagnosed and under-diagnosed patients to understand disparities in under-diagnosis, and (3) leveraging of existing models and targeted screening data to address under-diagnosis in new clinical settings. The researchers will apply these methods to address under-diagnosis of primary aldosteronism and familial hypercholesterolemia using data from Penn Medicine and VA EHRs. The award has an initial term of 5 years, from September 2024 through August 2029.
