Each year, the Institute of Informatics, Data Science, and Biostatistics at Washington University School of Medicine and the BJC Healthcare Innovation Lab sponsor the Big Ideas competition. The objective of the competition is to provide backing for innovative initiatives that are both medically applicable, technically achievable, and financially viable in practice. Winning teams receive up to $50,000 in grant funding.
“The competition aims to support novel projects that are clinically relevant, technically feasible and operationally sustainable. The program provides an opportunity for collaborative teams to develop innovations in informatics and health-care delivery.”
