PHIND Pilot seed funding
PHIND, is soliciting new Pilot Projects from new or established investigators. The vision of PHIND is to bring together researchers from various disciplines to form synergistic teams that will make significant advances in developing 1) data analytics for risk assessment, 2) biomarkers for the transition from health to disease, and 3) wearable/home monitoring devices or related PHIND areas.
The ideal project topics will fall within one or more of the following research areas:
- Fundamental studies on the biology of disease initiation/progression to understand the earliest transitions from healthy humans, organs and cells to the diseased state
- Biomarker research to study the molecules that indicate healthy states and early signs of disease
- Diagnostic technology and information to accurately monitor and detect health changes early, such as collecting and analyzing information from multiple sources on the body and/or in the home, office or wider community
- Health economic analyses for precision health strategies to demonstrate value added to the health care system for pursing various precision health efforts
The focus of PHIND is on precision health not medicine, thus therapeutics or experimental drugs, are not suitable for this solicitation. For clarification, please see: http://med.stanford.edu//content/dam/sm/phind/documents/seed-grants/precision-health-vs-medicine.pdf

Any investigator with PI Eligibility (i.e., those with UTL, MCL, NTL-Research, and CE appointments) at Stanford may apply. All applications, regardless of their past or present relationship to the Stanford PHIND program, will undergo the same level of scrutiny before being identified as an appropriate Pilot Project.
