The five-year collaboration was negotiated by the university’s Technology Development Group, which will evaluate new research proposals and award grants — including an initial $1 million from Optum, according to an Oct. 10 news release.

The group is currently accepting research proposals through Oct. 31.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
