The National Evaluation System for health Technology Coordinating Center (NESTcc) has announced two new funding opportunities, including a call for concepts for its second round of test-cases as well as an opportunity to submit targeted test-case concepts leveraging patient-generated health data for regulatory purposes.

NESTcc is soliciting test-case concepts from medical device stakeholders to further develop and test the NESTcc Data Network. Test-cases are being sought to answer important medical device questions and to explore the Network Collaborators’ ability to capture the data needed to support a range of studies and analyses. To answer test-case questions, NESTcc’s Network Collaborators will be invited to participate in each selected test-case concept to better understand opportunities and barriers of such engagements within the medical device ecosystem.

Test-case concept submissions for both opportunities are due on September 19, 2018 at 5p.m. EST. Download a full description of both opportunities, including required submission templates, at nestcc.org/opportunities/.
