The board of the Delta Regional Authority ("DRA" or"the Authority") has initiated various programs to help the residents of the Delta to reach these goals. One of the priorities of the DRA is to improve the leadership skills of the region's current and future leaders. The Delta Leadership Institute is the vehicle through which the DRA will pursue these efforts. The result obtained from the implementation of the DLI programs will be the creation of a cadre of leaders that will work for future improvements in the region by "thinking and acting regionally". DRA has previously held seven years of the DLI. The purpose of this RFP is to expand and build upon DLI. The focus of the executive academy training is on regional leadership and topics important to DRA and the Region such as health, information technology, small business, bio-economy, transportation and education. DRA will require the contractor to secure prominent speakers on subject matters vital to the region at each of the sessions to be held in the DRA region and Washington, DC where the participants of DLI will be exposed to issues/cultural history in each of the cities where the meetings/sessions are held and a cultural outing or business excursion be provided at every location. Upon the completion of the Executive Academy the participants should possess the knowledge and skills necessary to make a direct impact in their community, county/parish, and state.

This program will expire on July 6, 2014. SYNOPSIS: The sponsor invites applications for esearch projects that will build a knowledge base of individuals’ personal health information management (PHIM) needs and practices and the design principles related to these activities. The increased interest in and availability of consumer health information technology (IT) applications meant to assist consumers in managing their personal health information has rapidly increased over the past decade. Many other industries have greatly benefited from design principles that take into account user needs and context, which help designers improve the utility of information management tools among a heterogeneous population of users. Individuals are the end users of consumer health IT; however, there is still a lack of basic research around these end users’ PHIM practices and needs and how these methods are influenced by a multitude of other contextual factors (e.g., care settings, demographics, motivations, user capabilities and limitations, informal caregiving networks, technology sophistication, and access to Internet) that, typically, represent a mixture of facilitators or barriers to adequate PHIM. This FOA looks to bridge the chasm that currently exists between consumer health IT designers and the users themselves, by bolstering basic research to better understand users’ PHIM practices, needs, and goals as they are intrinsically shaped by an array of contextual factors. This FOA will use the Research Project (R01) award mechanism. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 21914 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 6/5/2012 Sponsor: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality/DHHS Title: Understanding Clinical Information Needs and Health Care Decision Making Processes in the Context of Health Information Technology (IT) (R01) Contact: Angela Lavanderos Tel: 301-427-1505 Email: Angela.Lavanderos@ahrq.hhs.gov Full Program:          http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-11-198.html Deadline Note: The deadlines for receipt of standard R01 applications under this announcement are: February 5, June 5, and October 5 annually. This program will expire on July 6, 2014. SYNOPSIS: The sponsor invites applications for research aimed at elucidating the nature of cognition, task distribution, and clinical work in various health care delivery settings. Research projects funded under this FOA will address current knowledge gaps regarding our understanding of health care providers’ information needs and health care decision making processes, both individually and collectively, and as a health care team (composed of doctors, nurses, therapists, and administrative staff). As the U.S. population continues to make strides in longevity, there also are a growing number of chronic conditions that require consideration when seeking medical attention. Accordingly, health care teams are progressively becoming overwhelmed by the mounting number of tasks that require attention during a typical clinical encounter. These conditions and/or set of conditions are often coupled with various clinical guidelines or best practices meant to guide and inform health care providers when caring for their patients. Furthermore, the volume of clinical guidelines that health care teams are expected to incorporate into patient care is also rapidly increasing. Consequently, these teams must balance information, cognitive tasks, and workflow processes as they make health care decisions. While health information technology (IT) has shown the potential to assist and support health care teams with these requisite tasks in a manner that improves the quality of care while minimizing risk and harm to patients, many health care organizations continue to struggle with the implementation and adoption of health IT. This stems from a variety of contextual factors (e.g., workflow integration, usability of the health IT applications, provider dynamics). To better understand provider needs, basic research is needed on how clinical work is actually done and how it could be done, while incorporating a variety of cognitive analyses (e.g., cognitive work analysis, cognitive task analysis), workflow analyses (e.g., hierarchical task analysis, sequence diagrams), and human-centered design evaluations.
