We are delighted to announce the fourth round of the Innovation Discovery Grants Program (IDG). Partners HealthCare has renewed this grant program to stimulate new inventive concepts, identify areas of commercially significant scientific strength, and accelerate the creation of new products from the innovations of all Partners employees and faculty.

In 2019, the IDG program will fund projects focused on opportunities where artificial intelligence can be used to improve clinical care. Individual grants of up to $50,000 total cost will be funded.

Please visit http://idg.partners.org for additional background on the program and to access the grant application and review criteria. Pre-proposals are due 11:59PM September 17th, 2018.

This PHS-wide initiative is managed by Partners Innovation and is open to any faculty member with a primary appointment at a PHS-affiliated institution or full-time employee at PHS or a PHS-affiliated institution.
