The DHDP is launching a Request for Applications for the Digital Health Innovation Fund. The purpose of this opportunity is to support the development of research programs through their use of the Platform. While the fund prioritizes oncology and neurology research programs, the DHDP is a disease agnostic initiative. Applications focused on other areas of health and AI research where similar data may be available (eg. diabetes, cardiology) will also be considered. By identifying and selecting research initiatives for their compelling science, projects will advance the design and use of the Platform to support meaningful and impactful projects. In parallel, the intention is to stimulate collaboration among small- and medium- sized enterprises (SMEs), while adopting a view toward the commercialization potential of research discoveries.
