Request for Ideas for Clinical Measures to Improve Diagnosis.

Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.

Failures in the diagnostic process detract from patient safety, yet effective measurements for diagnostic performance remain elusive. This funding opportunity seeks to support efforts to develop diagnostic performance metrics in three clinical areas: acute vascular events, infections, and cancer. The deadline for submitting proposals is August 2, 2019.
