The Center for Health Design is requesting proposals to improve healthcare through the built environment, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
The deadline for the New Investigator Research Award is Sept 19, 2016. The competition will grant $10,000 to one recipient to support research in evidence-based healthcare facility design.
The competition is open to graduate students and recent graduates who want to conduct original, empirical research to help improve the understanding of the relationships between the physical environment and health-related outcomes.
Proposals can cover four areas:
• Patient/resident safety, experience, satisfaction, quality of care, or health and wellness
• Population health management within the context of the built environment, such as decentralized models that bring health care closer to home
• Impact of technology on design and how it can improve care
• Innovative tools, techniques and approaches to support design research
