“The purpose of this funding opportunity (FO) is to solicit applications for operating the Participant Technology Systems Center (PTSC) for the All of Us Research Program… The PTSC serves as the All of Us Research Program’s resource for developing and maintaining the technical platforms by which people participate in and engage with the program. The PTSC provides systems, services, user experience design, and development to support account creation and management, informed consent, survey data collection, participant-authorized data sharing from third-party data sources (e.g., consumer apps and devices), return of information (e.g., electronic health records) to participants, and multi-channel participant communications systems and workflows (e.g., email, SMS, direct mail, phone).”
“In addition, the PTSC provides a suite of software tools and services for study teams from more than 50 organizations to facilitate participant engagement and retention. These tools and services include resources for scheduling; communications and case management; cohort, sub-cohort, and individual analytics; and participant account support. The PTSC is responsible for all aspects of development or licensure, operations management, security and privacy, and testing and support for deployed systems. Applicants may propose either to extend and enhance current All of Us PTSC systems or to replace them with alternative systems. Any alternative systems would need to be implemented in collaboration with All of Us consortium award partners, with full security controls, within 6 to 12 months of the award.”
“The PTSC award will provide and/or support the following component systems, functions, and services in close collaboration with NIH and All of Us technical systems partners including (but not limited to) the Data and Research Center and Genetic Counseling Resource awardees:
Component 1: Platform Operations and Maintenance
Component 2: Systems Integration and Support
Component 3: Participant Services Development
Component 4: Partner Services Development and Program Support
Component 5: Operational Analytics and Reporting…”
