Dear Colleagues, 

COIL is transitioning into fall the only way we know how: by celebrating civic innovation! Don’t miss your chance to:

• Apply to StatVentures Supply Chain Challenge Phase 2 starting October 13
• Attend the 2023 TOP FDA Diagnostic Data Solutions Showcase on October 20

Submit Your Implementation Roadmap to StatVentures Phase 2 Starting October 13

In case you missed it, our newest initiative StatVentures scouts technology through collaborations with innovators outside government to ensure the U.S. Census Bureau continues to provide the highest quality data. 

In our inaugural multi-phase Supply Chain Challenge, we’re calling on the brightest minds in America to help us identify and use new ways to produce more timely, granular, and robust supply chain data.  Now is your chance to compete for a total of $350,000 in prizes during Phase 2!  Applicants are challenged to submit implementation roadmaps for their ideas to improve supply chain data.  Up to eight winners will receive a total of up to $350,000, and an invitation to advance to Phase 3, where they will be challenged to test their roadmaps and produce real data. The submission window opens from October 13 to November 9. 

Learn more about StatVentures and what makes a great roadmap at our upcoming information session on October 17, 2023 at 2pm ET.

Reminder: You’re Invited to the 2023 TOP FDA Diagnostic Data Solutions Showcase on October 20, 2023!

The U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are thrilled to invite you to the TOP FDA Diagnostic Data Solutions Showcase. This is a culminating event for the 2023 FDA TOP sprint on three critical and exciting topics: Capturing Harmonized Data from In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs), Advancing Health Data Aggregation for Improved Patient Care, and Enabling the Use of Diagnostic Testing with Telehealth Platforms.

Over the past several months, 17 teams from industry and non-profits have developed digital tools that tackle these important challenges using federal open data. 

On October 20th, join us for a virtual first-hand look at the digital products developed through the sprint and connect with the teams who built them. You’ll also hear from leading experts from government and industry on important topics related to diagnostic data and the importance of accessible tools that put health data in the hands of those who need it. 

We hope you are able to join us – register and learn more here!
