Regenstrief Institute Vice President for Data and Analytics, Shaun Grannis, M.D., M.S., a national leader in health data interoperability, has been appointed to the Executive Advisory Board (EAB) for the Cross- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Patient Health Data Initiative Trusted Data Broker (TDB) Platform, led by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH).
As a member of the national Board, Dr. Grannis will contribute his expertise in patient matching, privacy-preserving record linkage and population-level data integration. His role will include providing strategic guidance on data equity, governance and interoperability to help ensure that the TDB platform aligns with the priorities of NIH, HHS, healthcare institutions and the broader research and public health communities.
The initiative supports the NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science and seeks to advance a secure, interoperable and federated platform for electronic health record and clinical data sharing across the HHS. The project aims to reduce redundancy, improve access to high-quality data and enhance patient trust through rigorous data governance and privacy protections.
Dr. Grannis’ research is focused on improving discovery and decision support in a variety of contexts by developing, testing and implementing innovative approaches for data integration, patient matching, predictive modeling and other novel data science use cases, including developing novel population health data frameworks supporting fusion of community and social drivers of health with clinical data, as well as leveraging machine learning-based models to improve discovery and decision support in a variety of contexts.
The FNIH, established by Congress in 1990, builds public-private partnerships connecting scientists from the National Institutes of Health, life sciences companies, academia and regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency. The organization accelerates new therapies, diagnostics and cures while advancing global health, access to care for all and workforce development.
