Over at the RWJF Pioneering Ideas blog, INQRI's senior program officer Lori Melichar raises an interesting discussion. Should research proposals be made public? As Lori explains, the Foundation has readily embraced use of social media and the sharing of information via the web to a large audience. However, the review of research proposals remains private to protect intellectual property. But, what if a proposal could be shared to attract additional funding interest?

Call For Proposals: Applying Behavioral Economics to Perplexing Health and Health Care Challenges
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Pioneer Portfolio announced their Call for Proposals for the research initiative: Applying Behavioral Economics to Perplexing Health and Health Care Challenges.
This solicitation is currently seeking innovative proposals that apply the principles and frameworks of behavioral economics to persistent and perplexing health and health care problems. The hope is to discover new interventions and insight that have potential to dramatically improve the way health care is delivered and health is promoted and preserved.
The solicitation is particularly interested in supporting experiments that test innovative solutions to the challenge of reducing the use of low-value services in health care. This problem is particularly important given the rising costs and unaffordability of health care in the United States, but has been difficult to impact in part due to perverse incentives in a fee-for-service environment.

The ARCHeS Platform - a New Tool With Great Possibilities
Recently, INQRI's senior program officer, Lori Melichar published a post on RWJF's Pioneer blog about ARCHeS, a web-based platform which allows policy-makers and other leaders to use the Archimedes model to run virtual trials. Dr. David Eddy, founder of Archimedes, recently visited the Foundation to present about ARCHeS, which is supported by the Pioneer program.
"What struck me about ARCHeS was the opportunity it presented to make evidence-based policy decisions about nurse practitioners’ scope of practice that could potentially result in significant savings."
