Pollination Event: Health at a Distance
How do medical professionals deliver healthcare from a distance? Whether the distances are geographic, temporal, cultural, socioeconomic or atmospheric, digital technologies and interdisciplinary collaboration can reimagine the future of healthcare. Bold Challenges invites faculty researchers to explore the complex challenges of transcending distance barriers for patient care, behavioral health and community health.
Designed to spark novel ideas and scientific collaborations, Bold Challenges’ Pollination events convene faculty from across campuses to share their work and uncover potential new interdisciplinary research directions. In anticipation of federal funding interest around health at a distance, this interactive Pollination event will enable researchers from diverse disciplines to share ideas, gauge research synergies and lay the groundwork for competitive research projects with applications in areas such as rural and urban health, space medicine, health education and health accessibility. Possible areas of interest may include remote monitoring, home testing, digital communication, predictive analytics, healthcare in war zones and/or disaster zones, military applications and emergency medicine.
Bold Challenges also presents opportunities for seed funding to catalyze innovative, high-impact projects. These opportunities range from $10,000 (Pollination Awards, available only to event participants) to $75,000 (Boost program) to $50,000-$125,000 (Accelerate); each of these opportunities includes staff support for project management and strategic planning.
Event Highlights:
External funding landscape in health at a distance research areas.
Opportunities to combine strengths for transformative research.
Seeding interdisciplinary teams for health at a distance research.
Seed funding opportunities to jumpstart collaborative projects; for Pollination awards, event participation is required in order to be eligible.
The event will be held in the Hussey Room in the Michigan League on Friday, March 13, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm. This is an in-person event with no hybrid option available. Light breakfast and boxed lunches will be provided.
Please register by February 27.
