Due Dates: June 5, 2025 (New) | July 5, 2025 (Renewal/Resubmission/Revision) | October 5, 2025 (New) | November 5, 2025 (Renewal/Resubmission/Revision) | June 5, 2026 (New) | July 5, 2026 (Renewal/Resubmission/Revision) | October 5, 2026 (New) | November 5, 2026 (Renewal/Resubmission/Revision)
Funding Amounts: Up to $250,000 direct costs per year, for up to 4 years (R01 mechanism).
Summary: Supports research to develop innovative personal health informatics tools that deliver actionable, personalized health insights to individuals using novel informatics and data science approaches.
Key Information: Clinical trials are optional; open-source dissemination of tools and data is required; foreign organizations are eligible.
This opportunity, offered by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) at the NIH, seeks to advance the development of novel informatics and data science approaches that empower individuals to understand and improve their health through actionable insights. The focus is on creating, evaluating, and disseminating personal health informatics tools, systems, or platforms that provide meaningful, personalized, and empirically-based health insights.
Projects should leverage innovative data collection, integration, and analysis methods—including AI/ML, mobile health, EHRs, and other data streams—to generate and communicate personalized risk assessments and recommendations. End-user engagement and real-world evaluation are required to ensure that solutions are generalizable, reusable, and scalable. All research products (software, data, methods) must be made open source and freely available to the research and education community.
Applications that do not propose open-source dissemination, do not address actionable insights for individuals, or do not advance the science of personal health informatics will be considered non-responsive.
