UF W. Martin Smith Interdisciplinary Patient Safety Awards

Smith Award Status
CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS: Next Submission Period is JANUARY 1 – March 31, 2025

Introduction:

The University of Florida W. Martin Smith Interdisciplinary Patient Safety Awards Program is cosponsored by the UF College of Medicine Continuing Medical Education and the UF Self-Insurance Program (SIP). This program provides start-up support for faculty and staff to design and implement projects focused on reducing the likelihood of adverse events or claims and/or patient safety and clinical process improvements. Projects selected for funding may also address national initiatives such as the Partnership for Patients, CMS improvement programs, and IHI and NQF initiatives. Topic-specific calls for project proposals will be made by the program periodically, in response to demonstrated quality and safety enhancement opportunities; however, unsolicited applications are also accepted during the open submission period.

Project requirements:

Smith Awards-funded projects must plan and implement clinical education and process improvement initiatives designed to directly improve patient safety and clinical processes that enhance the delivery of care and minimize the opportunity for claims and litigation. In addition, projects must identify at least one additional anticipated objective for results to be shared in a broader peer-reviewed context, e.g., journal publication or presentation to local, national, or international forum. Any published material resulting from the project must be provided to the Smith Awards program.

Special consideration will be given to applications that include the following features:

    1. Interdisciplinary components, including physicians, residents, nurses, and other health care workers.
    2. Applicable across the educational continuum, including faculty, resident, student, and post-graduate continuing medical education components.
    3. Demonstrates sustainability after completion of the project support period and potential for expansion to other locations.
    4. Potential to serve as a foundation for further funded research.

Award amounts:

Most Smith Awards projects will be in the amount of $25,000 or less over the life of the project.

Project duration:

12 to 24 months.

Application:

Submit your Smith Award Applications online (“Application” tab below) during the open submission period from January 1 through March 31 ONLY.  PLEASE NOTE that once you start the application process online, you cannot save in parts; we encourage you to print a hard copy of the application (click on the linked wording at the beginning of this paragraph) to prepare in advance of completing the online application. Winners will be selected and announced during the month of April. If selected as a winner, the Principal Investigator or designee will be contacted by an Award Program Administrator. 

Award agreement:

Awardees are required to sign an Award Agreement prior to commencing the approved project.

Eligible applicants:

All UF Health providers, hospitals, and clinics are invited to submit applications.

Budget information:

Smith Awards may be used to support a variety of project-related items, including consumables, data analysis, and limited FTE support. They may not be used to offset capital budget expenses or support expenditures which should be submitted through the regular budget process, such as clinical equipment. Awards monies may not be used to support new FTE lines, existing FTE salaries, or ongoing expense commitments that extend beyond the grant period. Awards monies may not be used for indirect costs (IDC). The use of Smith Awards funds will be limited to those expense items listed in the Awards request budget. Proposed Travel budget expenses to conferences should only be budgeted for accepted peer-reviewed activities on completed projects, with the total amount limited to $5,000 or less. It is also important to follow State and UF Travel requirements, which can be found at: http://www.fa.ufl.edu/departments/travel/

IRB submission:

Smith Awards projects will frequently require data collection involving human subjects (e.g., students, residents, faculty, patients, etc.). Human subject research is subject to review and approval by the UF Health Science Center IRB. Unless your submitted proposal meets the definition of a CQI project, Smith Awards projects approved for funding must be reviewed and approved by the IRB prior to initiating the project.

For answers to common questions about “When is CQI Research?” click here: http://irb.ufl.edu/wp-content/uploads/quality-vs-research.pdf

Many projects will likely qualify for either exempt or expedited review by the IRB, which means they can be reviewed by the Chair or Vice Chairs and do not have to be reviewed by the full Board.

To avoid federal regulatory compliance issues, we suggest that the Gainesville campus contact Peter Iafrate, Chair of the IRB-01, at 352-273-9600 or iafrate@ufl.edu and in Jacksonville contact Dr. Wajeeh Bajwa, DRC Research Regulatory Manager – IRB-03, at 904-244- 9478 or wajeeh.bajwa@jax.ufl.edu. They will advise you about which IRB category your project falls into, the proper IRB forms you need to complete, and to whom to submit it to. It is highly recommended that you contact the IRB Chair when you have completed your award proposal, or even before, to get a head start on the IRB process and minimize any potential for delay.

Project reports:

Awardees must provide brief progress updates and a final project report at the end of the project support period. Due dates for progress reports will be determined once IRB approval is obtained. IRB approval is required prior to release of funds (see IRB Submission). Progress report schedules will be provided to you by an Awards Program Administrator once notification has been received that funds are released and available for access. Ongoing funding is contingent on the receipt of these progress reports. Principal Investigators may be required to present project progress at various UF Health enterprise forums. Please submit completed progress reports and any final reports to the responsible contacts noted below.

Contact:

For more information, please contact us at (352) 273-7006, or email SIPSmith@sip.ufl.edu.

When ready, complete the below application during the open submission period from January 1 through March 31 ONLY. Because you must fully complete and submit the application once started, we recommend you review a hard copy of the application (provided under the Info and Requirements tab above) to ensure you have all needed information prior to starting the below application process.

Project: Improving Access to Emergency Blood Products for Labor and Delivery

The UF Self-Insurance Program is excited to announce the launch of our Early Reporting UF W. Martin Smith Interdisciplinary Patient Safety Awards Program (Early Reporting Smith Award). The Award recognizes the department with the lowest average report lag time (time from incident to report) and provides start-up monetary support for faculty and staff to design and implement patient safety projects. Studies consistently show the average claim cost (indemnity + expense) increases as the lag time increases. [i] Early reporting also facilitates effective process improvement.

The winners are ….

• Gainesville Smith Award Recipient: Department of Anesthesia

• Jacksonville Smith Award Recipient: Department of OB/GYN

These departments’ potential claims and adverse outcomes resulting in a SIP Investigation had the lowest average report lag among their peer departments, for FY 2019-2020 and FY 2020-2021. SIP applauds these departments for their early reporting practices and is pleased to reward their efforts.
