About BD2
Breakthrough Discoveries for thriving with Bipolar Disorder, or BD², is a collective force transforming what we know about and how we treat bipolar disorder. It’s a commitment to the 40 million people living with bipolar disorder, those not yet diagnosed, and their loved ones. Our vision is that breakthroughs in scientific understanding will create new interventions so that everyone living with bipolar disorder will thrive.
About the BD2 Integrated Network
The purpose of the Integrated Network is to improve the health and well-being of people living with bipolar disorder by engaging a network of collaborating investigators and clinicians to:
- build an unprecedented data ecosystem for bipolar disorder, comprised of longitudinal clinical and biological data
- implement and inform data-driven improvements in care
- generate novel insights for interventional approaches
In partnership with people living with bipolar disorder, clinicians, and researchers, BD² established the Integrated Network to accelerate research and dramatically improve systems of care for bipolar disorder. It embraces a two-pronged approach: a traditional Longitudinal Cohort Study (LCS) designed to generate in-depth phenotypes of bipolar disorder over time and a Learning Health Network (LHN) aimed at iteratively improving outcomes.
About the Funding Opportunity
BD² seeks applications from qualified organizations or teams to develop and manage a comprehensive mobile application system for data collection, monitoring, and analysis for the Integrated Network. The mobile application platform must incorporate both Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) tools and passive data collection, support data security and integrity, and provide user-friendly dashboards for study staff and participants. The platform must be compatible with both iOS and Android devices. BD2 plans to award up to $1.35 million USD over five years to the successful applicant.
