- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded The Feinstein Institutes For Medical Research $139,836 on July 1, 2026, under the Medical Library Assistance program (CFDA 93.879) to develop and disseminate AI-driven software tools for early prediction of clinical deterioration in hospitalized patients. The recipient will fund a research software engineer to develop next-generation personalized deterioration prediction models using clinical wearable data and generative...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded the Regents of the University of Minnesota $200,484 on September 1, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to develop an interoperable artificial intelligence early warning system for unrecognized in-hospital patient deterioration. The award funds transformation of the Acute Clinical Deterioration Calculator (ACDC), a machine learning model that predicts deterioration 3.4 hours earlier than...
- The National Institute of Nursing Research awarded Johns Hopkins University $2.437 million on September 15, 2025 under the Nursing Research program (CFDA 93.361) to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated group postpartum and well-child care model on maternal and child health outcomes in low-resource settings. The award funds a cluster randomized control trial testing a model that brings together 8–10 postpartum women with similarly aged infants for integrated care extending to 12 months...
- The National Institute of Nursing Research awarded Vanderbilt University $125,478 on September 30, 2026, under the Nursing Research program (CFDA 93.361) to conduct GEO-SIRS, a study integrating electronic health record data, patient-reported non-medical barrier screening, and geospatially derived contextual indicators to characterize post-discharge outcomes among sepsis survivors in a multi-site academic health system. The research addresses unplanned 30-day hospital readmissions and 30-day...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded Innovative Design Labs Inc. $313,110 on August 19, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to develop an automated assessment system for sterile procedure training on mannequin simulations. The project will create hardware, sensing technology, and artificial intelligence models to objectively evaluate aseptic and sterile technique training that currently relies on manual, in-person instructor...
The National Institute of Nursing Research awarded Healthpartners Institute a project grant of $3,030,895 on July 23, 2026, to develop artificial intelligence tools that support emergency department decision-making, particularly triage nurse assessment and patient prioritization. The award funds research under the Nursing Research program (CFDA 93.361). The project will create gold-standard emergency department decisions through expert annotation of patient cases across multiple decision-making tasks and establish standardized metrics for assessing decision-making performance. Healthpartners Institute will fine-tune and validate large language models on these annotated datasets, producing a model called "AI-Triage+" that will be tested against current human decision-making and existing pre-trained models. The work addresses a documented performance gap in current triage accuracy at approximately 60 percent compared to expert benchmarks, with the research targeting improvement through AI support during emergency department crowding and high cognitive load scenarios. Performance of the work occurs in Bloomington, Minnesota, with a period of performance extending through June 30, 2030. Healthpartners Institute, a nonprofit research organization and subsidiary of Healthpartners, Inc., operates as a prime recipient of NIH awards and maintains research infrastructure anchored in clinical data access and patient population engagement across its integrated health system.
