Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are two of four institutions to each win a $15 million grant from the Strategic Health IT Advanced Research Projects Program.

Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the program supports research to break through barriers against the adoption of health information technology and to accelerate “meaningful use” of health IT to support a high-performing health care system.
