Opportunity Summary:
The Novel Presentation of Health Related Data opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-12-NPHRD) is a U.S. Department of the Army program administered through USAMRAA that focuses on improving how complex medical and health-related information is displayed and interpreted. The core problem it targets is that modern healthcare now produces enormous volumes of digital data from electronic medical records, personal health records, home monitoring tools, and other connected devices, but the ability to turn those raw streams into clear, actionable understanding has not kept pace. The program is looking for research and development efforts that move beyond standard charts, tables, and dashboards and instead create genuinely new ways to visualize or represent health data so that important patterns, trends, and outliers become easier to spot and use in real clinical and operational decision-making.
A key theme of the announcement is that health data is both high-volume and highly diverse. It can include narrative text, structured numeric values, time-series waveforms, and rich media like audio, video, and still images. At the same time, the audience for this information is not limited to clinicians. Patients, healthcare administrators, managers, and public health professionals may all need to interpret the same underlying data for different purposes, such as managing an individual patient, monitoring a cohort of patients, allocating resources, or detecting population-level trends. Because these users have different goals, training, and time constraints, the program emphasizes innovative presentations that help each type of user quickly extract meaning, rather than simply aggregating more data into existing interfaces.
The expected outcomes are solutions that demonstrate new and novel presentations of complex medical data and show how those presentations enable better insight into trends and better identification of meaningful patterns. In practical terms, proposals would be expected to go beyond aesthetics and address usability and decision support, for example by making it easier to recognize clinical deterioration early, understand treatment response over time, compare patient subgroups, or coordinate care across settings. The work should generate new knowledge and support healthcare improvements relevant to Department of Defense personnel and beneficiaries, aligning the technical innovation with real-world DoD health needs and use cases.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this is a discretionary research and development funding opportunity using grants and cooperative agreements. The total estimated funding is $1,000,000, with up to four awards anticipated, and an award ceiling of $1,000,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of entity types may apply, with the main invitation aimed at U.S.-based businesses, academic research institutions, and multi-center collaborations; international partners may participate as part of collaborations. A notable process requirement is that preliminary research proposals (pre-proposals) are mandatory, and only those submissions will be used to determine who is invited to submit a full proposal, so the initial concept submission is a critical gate in the application pathway.
Key dates in the posted announcement indicate it was posted and created on March 9, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 13, 2012, and an archive date of July 13, 2012. The CFDA number associated with the program is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact listed is Mary Rico, Grants Officer, specifically for electronic access problems.
FAQs: Novel Presentation of Health Related Data (W81XWH-12-NPHRD)
What is the purpose of the Novel Presentation of Health Related Data opportunity?
This opportunity supports research and development efforts that improve how complex medical and health-related information is displayed and interpreted. It focuses on moving beyond standard charts, tables, and dashboards to create genuinely new ways to visualize or represent health data so users can more easily spot important patterns, trends, and outliers and apply that insight to clinical and operational decision-making.
Which agency is offering and administering this program?
It is a U.S. Department of the Army program administered through USAMRAA (U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity).
What is the Funding Opportunity Number (FON)?
The Funding Opportunity Number is W81XWH-12-NPHRD.
What problem is the program trying to solve?
The program targets the gap between the huge volume of digital health data now produced (from electronic medical records, personal health records, home monitoring tools, and other connected devices) and the slower progress in turning those raw data streams into clear, actionable understanding.
What kinds of health data does the program expect applicants to address?
The announcement emphasizes that health data is high-volume and highly diverse. Examples include narrative text, structured numeric values, time-series waveforms, and rich media such as audio, video, and still images.
Is the intended audience limited to clinicians?
No. The program explicitly notes that the audience may include clinicians, patients, healthcare administrators, managers, and public health professionals, who may need to interpret the same underlying data for different purposes.
Why does the program emphasize different user types (patients, administrators, public health, etc.)?
Because these users can have different goals, training, and time constraints. The opportunity prioritizes innovative presentations that help each type of user quickly extract meaning, rather than simply adding more data into existing interfaces.
What types of approaches are encouraged?
Approaches that go beyond conventional visual displays and provide new and novel presentations of complex medical data. The emphasis is on enabling users to recognize meaningful signals in the data (patterns, trends, outliers) more effectively than standard charts, tables, or dashboards.
Is the program focused on aesthetics or on decision support?
It is not focused on aesthetics alone. The announcement highlights usability and decision support, aiming for presentations that help users make better sense of information in practical contexts.
What are examples of practical outcomes the program is aiming for?
Examples described include making it easier to recognize clinical deterioration early, understand treatment response over time, compare patient subgroups, or coordinate care across settings.
What are the expected outcomes for funded work?
Expected outcomes include solutions that demonstrate new and novel presentations of complex medical data and show how those presentations enable better insight into trends and better identification of meaningful patterns.
How should proposed work relate to Department of Defense needs?
The work should generate new knowledge and support healthcare improvements relevant to Department of Defense personnel and beneficiaries, aligning technical innovation with real-world DoD health needs and use cases.
What type of funding mechanism is used?
This is a discretionary research and development funding opportunity using grants and cooperative agreements.
How much total funding is estimated for this opportunity?
The total estimated funding is $1,000,000.
