CHIC Data Delivery Award request (subsidy)
Other: AFLAC CRO, feasibility requests, EPIC RWB
The Children's Health Informatics Core (CHIC) Data Delivery Awards are intended to support investigators working on projects that can lead to impactful child health research in the future.
Eligibility:
The Principal Investigator (PI) (or co-PIs) on the application must have a formal affiliation with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (Children's) and be engaged in child health research. Investigators with no or limited funding for the project of interest are eligible. Projects must have well-defined aims and testable hypotheses. A fully specified data dictionary will be required (template provided below). Funding from this subsidy may only be used for CHIC data extraction services and reporting portal reports (SSRS). The proposed project should strive to lead to a published manuscript and/or grant funding. Proposals that are not awarded are eligible for resubmission in the next cycle. Timeline: We review applications in the following cycles:
Application Submission Dates
Steering Committee Review Dates
Award Notification Dates Cycle 1 September 1- November 30 December 12 December 20 Cycle 2 December 1- February 28 Tentative: March 12 March 21 Cycle 3 March 1- May 30 Tentative: June 11 June 20 Cycle 4 June 1- August 30 Tentative: September 10 September 19
Applications are due at 5 PM ET on the last date of submission for that cycle.
Each proposal will be evaluated (in relative priority order) on:
Potential for future funding Named grant mechanism. Substantial funding expected in subsequent application for CHIC (i.e. >$25K ) Funding track record or named mentorship from faculty with funding track record. Reusable platform that grows CHIC capabilities Enables new capabilities that may be used across many projects. Trainee/early career development Ex: Junior faculty applying for career development award; Educationally required project to graduate. Reputation growth for CHIC team Authorship opportunities for CHIC team members to improve their ability to support and demonstrate expertise. Demonstration of use of self-service analytics tools to the extent possible Leadership in multicenter collaboration Children's is a primary or very early site in a multicenter collaboration; participation contributes substantially to national pre-eminence. Alignment with Children's mission Direct link to sponsored Children's system improvement area of interest Division/Department Support Letter of Support demonstrating leadership interest in the project.

Request Fulfillment Timing
The amount of time it takes to deliver your request will depend on the following (not all inclusive):
Complexity of the request (e.g. complexity of defining a specific patient population) Number and complexity requested variables Quality of request documentation (e.g. clearly stated goals, delineated criteria). Cutting and pasting directly from grant applications or IRB protocols may not provide the highest quality request. Additionally, if developers have to spend significant time reviewing documentation to understand the request, this will delay delivery of requested data. Timeliness of responses to requests for additional information. Availability of code (e.g. SQL queries) from other sites (where applicable). Please describe any upcoming deadlines related to this request (e.g., grant submission date).Note: We understand that it is always preferable to receive data as soon as possible. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet your deadline , but we will consider this information in request fullfillment.

This section gathers information that helps us understand how your request supports institutional research priorities. It also informs if completing the request will help support the sustainability of the Children's Health Informatic Core (CHIC). This information is used to evaluate your subsidy request. It is particularly critical for projects requesting data support subsidies.
The following factors influence request prioritization:
Potential for future funding. Funding is necessary for the Core's sustainability. Additionally, funding occassionally allows temporary expansion (contractors) of resources to fullfill requests. Likelihood of authorship for those fullfilling your request. Many data requests require significant expertise and the data delivery unit includes resources such as a Board Certified Clinical Informaticist. More authorship for data delivery unit personel may contributed to stronger grant applications in the future! Trainee/early career development involvement Leadership in Multicenter involvement Alignment with Children's and the Pediatric Institute respective missions Collaboration with research partners (Emory, Morehouse, Georgia Tech) Demonstration of use of self-service analytics tools to the extent possible Reusable platform that grows CHIC capabilities Division/Department Support For additional questions or concerns, please contact researchdata@choa.org.
Prioritization criterion: Alignment with institutional mission(s)
Describe how this request supports the mission of Children's and/or the Pediatric Institute. This can include data-informed project outcomes such as:
Direct link to sponsored Children's system improvement area of interest. Development of generalizable benchmarks to compare clinical practices across institutions Discovery of generalizable knowledge about the efficacy of clinical treatments, processes and/or procedures Improvement of the characterization of generalizable patient conditions * must provide value
Prioritization criterion: Potential for future funding
Does this project:
Have a study lead or study mentor with a track record of funding? Have associated grant submission in progress (if so, describe the grant mechanism--e.g., K, R, other)? Provide pilot data to support a planned grant submission (if so, describe the study hypotheses and specific aims)? Include designated funding for data extraction by CHIC in grant submission? (i.e. >$25K) Include CHIC member(s) as co-investigator(s) on a grant submission? Please describe if any of these apply (type "na" otherwise):
* must provide value
Prioritization criterion: Trainee and/or junior faculty development Does this project:
Include a junior faculty member or trainee as a lead study member (e.g., intended first author)? Include trainees on the study team (not as primary author/investigator)? Meet a requirement for graduation or completion of training? Provide preliminary results needed for a career development award submission (including K, F, T, or local grants)? Please describe if any of these apply (type "na" otherwise):
* must provide value
Prioritization criterion: Manuscript authorship for CHIC team
Extraction of data from the EHR involves significant training, technical knowledge, and often clinical expertise (e.g. in the case of a Board Certified Clinical Informaticist). Authorship opportunities for the Children's Health Informatics Core (CHIC) team improve biosketches, core descriptions for Facilities documents, and other factors that improve our ability to demonstrate the value of the Core's work.
Note: Authorship would only be expected when other authorship criteria are met (e.g. composition contribution to and/or significant review of a publication).
Please describe authorship opportunities for CHIC team members as part of this project (select all that apply):
* must provide value
Prioritization criterion: Advance multicenter research Does this request relate to multicenter research (i.e., This is a large/existing collaborative OR This is a new/small collaborative OR We are establishing/Leading the collaborative)?
Will Children's be a primary or very early site in a multicenter collaboration (participation contributes substantially to national pre-eminence)?
If so, please describe in more detail below.
If this request does not relate to multicenter research, type "na".
* must provide value
Prioritization criterion: Reusable platorm that grows CHIC capabilities Does this request e nable new capabilities that may be used across many projects? Please describe below.
If not, type "na".
Prioritization criterion: Demonstrated use of self-service tools Have you participated in or used any of the following:
· Children's Data Stewards Program - Data Governance & Data Literacy videos
· SlicerDicer Teaching
· Participation in Children's Data Office Hours program (contact data@choa.org)
If so, please list and share useful data received. This can be attached below. Please do not include any PHI.
If not, type "na".
Prioritization criterion: Division Support Please upload a Letter of Support demonstrating leadership interest in the project.
