FDA is seeking applicants for a funding opportunity to explore the role of digital health technologies (DHTs) such as actigraphy, photography, and environmental sensors, in evaluating new drugs. An agency [announcement](https://grants.gov/search-results-detail/352965?utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=govdelivery) says projects may involve engagement with researchers from academia, the biopharmaceutical industry, patient groups, and other stakeholders.

The project objectives are listed as **(1)** advancing DHTs for clinical drug development, **(2)** expanding the ability to capture early manifestations of chronic diseases, **(3)** determining outcomes in populations with unmet medical needs, and **(4)** enhancing convenience for trial participants by allowing for remote data acquisition in clinical investigations.

The grant scope includes, but is not limited to:

- comparing digital measurements to traditional measurements in clinical trials to evaluate drugs;
- developing and evaluating novel endpoints using DHTs to address unmet needs for drug clinical trials;
- comparing metrics to evaluate continuous measurements; and
- capturing early manifestations of chronic diseases through the use of DHTs.
