Three Hennepin Healthcare employees were awarded data analytics support for proposals designed to improve clinical care, workflows, or organizational policy.
Projects are supported by CTSI through its hub partnership with Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute. The two organizations have shared goals for health improvement through research.
Research staff, project managers, and data analysts at Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute’s Research, Evaluation, and Data Analytics Core (REDAC) will provide support to awardees, who’ll work to complete their projects over the next nine months.
The core provides guidance and tools to Hennepin Healthcare employees who are conducting data-focused research. Study findings of these REDAC Project Opportunity awardees will be shared across the health system and through scientific publications.

More about the award
The Research, Evaluation, and Data Analytics Core (REDAC) Project Opportunity was open to Hennepin Healthcare employees, and projects were selected after a competitive proposal review process.
Priority was given to applicants without access to alternative research support and for projects most likely to reduce care inequities within the patient population. Prior research experience was not a requirement.
