Answering Point (PSAP) request is 

necessary to initiate E911 service, and

The notification requirement on PSAPs 

will be used by the carriers to verify that 

wireless E911 calls are referred to 

PSAPs who have the technical 

capability to use the data to the caller’s 

benefit. If the carrier challenges the 

validity of the request, the request will 

be deemed valid if the PSAP making the 

request provides the following 

information: 

A. Cost Recovery. The PSAP must 

demonstrate that a mechanism is in 

place by which the PSAP will recover 

its costs of the facilities and equipment 

necessary to receive and utilize the E911 

data elements; 

B. Necessary Equipment. The PSAP 

must provide evidence that it has 

ordered the equipment necessary to 

receive and utilize the E911 data 

elements; and 

C. Necessary Facilities. The PSAP 

must demonstrate that it has made a 

timely request to the appropriate local 

exchange carrier for the necessary 

trunking and other facilities to enable 

E911 data to be transmitted to the PSAP. 

In the alternative, the PSAP may 

demonstrate that a funding mechanism 

is in place, that it is E911 capable using 

a Non-Call Associated Signaling 

technology, and that it has made a 

timely request to the appropriate LEC 

for the necessary ALI database upgrade.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Health Information Technology 

Announcement of Requirements and 

Registration for ‘‘Market R&D Pilot 

Challenge’’ 

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 3719. 

AGENCY: Office of the National 

Coordinator for Health Information 

Technology, HHS. 

Award Approving Official: Dr. Karen 

DeSalvo, National Coordinator for 

Health Information Technology. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Developers and innovators 

have many great ideas and products that 

could improve the U.S. health care 

system and make life better for patients 

and care providers. However, effecting 

actual change is extremely difficult due 

to the high barriers to entry in the health 

IT space. Once an innovative new 

product has been developed, it needs to 

be tested in real-life care settings. But 

providers can be hesitant to host this 

testing for a myriad of reasons—they 

may have had bad experiences in the 

past, be anxious about deploying new 

tools that may disrupt their workflows, 

or be wary of encountering more 

problems than the solution solves. 

Without this testing, it cannot be 

determined how well the product 

actually works, making it difficult for 

the developers to identify the changes 

that need to be made to the product to 

make it more effective. Furthermore, 

without evidence of the uses a product 

can provide it is that much harder to 

acquire the venture funding that can 

fuel further advancement and lead to 

successful entry in the marketplace. 

The Market R&D Pilot Challenge is 

intended to help bridge this gap by 

bringing together health care 

organizations (‘‘Hosts’’) and innovative 

companies (‘‘Innovators’’) through pilot 

funding awards and facilitated 

matchmaking. The Challenge seeks to 

award pilot proposals in three different 

domains: Clinical environments (e.g., 

hospitals, ambulatory care, surgical 

centers), public health and community 

environments (community-based 

personnel such as public health 

departments, community health 

workers, mobile medical trucks, schooland jail-based clinics), and consumer 

health (e.g., self-insured employers, 

pharmacies, laboratories). Hosts and 

Innovators will submit joint pilot 

proposals, with the winners, as 

determined by an expert panel, 

proceeding to implement their pilots. 

The Challenge’s primary goals are to: 

• Encourage early collaboration 

between entrepreneurs, medical and 

public health personnel, patients, and 

the research community to link 

innovation in health IT to innovation in 

care delivery; 

• De-risk early stage health IT and 

digital health products for future 

clinical testing and investment; 

• Encourage uptake of and ensure the 

market is aware of ONC standards and 

functions within certified electronic 

health record technologies; and 

• Explore evidence collection 

methods and relevant metrics for early 

stage health IT products that may better 

match agile software development. 

The statutory authority for this 

challenge competition is Section 105 of 

the America COMPETES 

Reauthorization Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 

111–358). 

DATES: 

Applicants: 

• Challenge launch: October 20, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Subject of Challenge Competition 

The Market R&D Pilot Challenge will 

have up to six winners, preferably 

spread across each of the three Host 

domains: Clinical environments, public 

health and community environments, 

and consumer health. 

The Challenge is a multi-step process 

that builds on ONC’s previous prize 

challenges. 

1. Learn About the Challenge 

The challenge Web site will be the 

primary source for finding all 

information about the challenge, and 

will be updated regularly with the 

newest information. ONC will hold an 

informational Webinar to provide 

details about the program and answer 

questions; the Webinar will be recorded 

and made available for those who miss 

it. 

2. Find a Match 

The organizers will facilitate 

matchmaking to help Innovators and 

Hosts connect to discuss potential pilots 

through in-person and virtual events. 

Potential applicants are not required to 

participate in this process in order to 

submit a proposal. Interested Innovators 

and Hosts will submit an application 

form to be considered to participate in 

the facilitated matchmaking sessions. 

Hosts make the final selection about 

which Innovators they will meet with in 

person; Innovators will be officially 

notified of these meetings prior to the 

sessions. We encourage Innovators to 

reach out independently to health care 

service organizations and stakeholders 

for potential partnerships. 

3. Submit Joint Proposal 

A Host and an Innovator will apply as 

a pair by submitting a joint pilot 

proposal. Applications without a Host 

or Innovator co-applicant will not be 

accepted. A panel of expert judges will 

review proposals and select up to 6 

winning proposals to each receive a 

$50,000 award. Winners will be 

announced on a Webinar where they’ll 

present their pilot proposals. 

In addition to a description and 

budget of the pilot, the joint proposal 

will require general information about 

the Host and Innovator; description and 

demo video of the Innovator’s 

technology; and letters of intent from 

the Host and Innovator. 

4. Winners: Prepare and Implement 

Pilot Project 

Pilot planning and implementation 

support services will be provided over 

a series of Webinars. The selected 

winners will then implement and run 

their pilot projects over a period of 6– 

9 months. 

5. Issue Deliverable and Promote Results 

Upon completion of the pilot, the 

winners will be required to issue a 

deliverable that contributes to the 

public knowledge base, such as a white 

paper or open data set, or to open 

technology, such as an API or open 

source tool. Winners will also have the 

opportunity to present their pilot 

projects at a major health event or 

conference. 

Applicants are strongly encouraged to 

address the following ONC priority 

areas: 

• Standards/Data Formats 

• Interoperability & Exchange 

• Care Coordination/Transitions of Care 

• Patient/PHR Portals 

• Medication Management 

• Blue Button 

• Patient Generated Health Data 

• Underserved Communities
