Now Accepting Proposals for SPS New Areas of Focus!

SPS wants to hear about concepts, innovations, and harm areas that would benefit from the power of 140+ children’s hospitals driving a safer environment for patients and employees.

While SPS stays laser focused on our current portfolio and interventions to improve safety, we know both assuring that we are working in the right areas and looking ahead to the future are equally important.

We have established a formalized process to review ideas that may result in: 1) new work that has not yet been addressed by the SPS network and 2) related work, which are advancements to the current SPS portfolio.

The SPS ‘New Areas of Focus’ Call for Proposals is now open and will remain open through March 31. Please submit completed proposals to SPS.

SPS intends to commit to a small exploratory group for any promising idea that emerges from the review process with the potential for launching a new SPS workstream when the time is right. We will always balance potential changes in the SPS portfolio with an assessment of the capacity and stress of network hospitals.

Please share the proposal submission form with anyone interested in proposing future areas, concepts, or harms not yet addressed by the SPS Network. All proposals will be reviewed by the SPS New Work Subcommittee through the second quarter of 2023.

Please contact SPS with any questions. Thank you and we look forward to evaluating any and all ideas!
