Platform for Engaging Everyone Responsibly

 
Platform for Engaging Everyone Responsibly awardees announced
 

Platform for Engaging Everyone Responsibly (PEER) enables individuals to share health information with researchers and each other on their own terms to advance an understanding of health and disease, and to accelerate the development of cohorts for clinical trials. Recently Genetic Alliance announced the fifteen awardees for Phase I of its initiative to create a ‘white label’ of the PEER, through a $500,000 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation grant awarded to Genetic Alliance. The ‘white label’ will result in a simple online dashboard that will enable future groups to customize PEER for a specific use, and make it more user friendly and culturally appropriate for their members. These awardees will work with Genetic Alliance and technology partner Private Access to develop and refine the ‘white label’ PEER while engaging their communities to cost effectively expand participant centric health research. Another fifteen organizations will be awarded a PEER installation later in the year. Interested organizations should contact Genetic Alliance for further information.
