Optum and Mayo Clinic, “Predicting the Risk of Severe Hypoglycemic and Hyperglycemic Events in Adults with Diabetes” A collaboration between Mayo Clinic researchers and Optum addressed critical gaps in diabetes management by examining the epidemiology of severe hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia in the U.S. through risk prediction models using real-world data contained within Optum to emulate clinical trials of interventions to improve glycemic control and reduce risks of severe hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.

Honorable Mention: the University of Florida’s Transportation Institute with Gravy Analytics, “Using Location Analytics to Enhance Natural Disaster Emergency Response Planning and Management.” Utilizing secure human mobility data, the collaboration between the research team from the University of Florida’s Transportation Institute (UFTI) and Gravy Analytics examined the movement of residents before, during, and after the 2019 Kincade Fire in Sonoma County, CA.

The FPF Award for Research Data Stewardship is supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, a not-for-profit grantmaking institution whose mission is to enhance the welfare of all through the advancement of scientific knowledge.
