This $351,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Medical Library Assistance (CFDA 93.879) federal grant program supports the development of a trustworthy and high-performance question answering system for electronic health records (EHRs). The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) will lead this 4-year research effort to create hybrid methods that leverage the power of large language models while maintaining the trustworthiness of carefully-designed systems like their existing QUEHRY platform. The project aims to enable question answering over both structured and unstructured EHR data, improving clinicians' ability to quickly access relevant patient information. UTHealth has extensive expertise in conducting biomedical and public health research through federal grants and contracts, frequently collaborating with other academic and government partners.
