Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Offers Funding To Improve Diagnostic Safety

The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation is accepting online applications until Aug. 2 for novel approaches to developing new clinical measures aimed at improving diagnosis in three major disease categories: acute vascular events (such as stroke and myocardial infarction), infections (such as sepsis and pneumonia) and cancer (such as lung and colorectal cancer). The Moore Foundation’s Diagnostic Excellence Initiative will support three to six grants, each between $250,000 and $500,000, for work done over 12 to 18 months. The foundation’s efforts complement AHRQ’s ongoing diagnostic safety efforts.
