To continually tackle new challenges, Ariadne Labs\u2019 Spark Grant program funds new and early-stage ideas to address gaps in health care delivery. More than 20 Spark Grants have been awarded over the last 10 years. Many have led to the creation of new areas of work at Ariadne Labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take the example of David Levine, MD, MPH, MA<\/strong>, a practicing general internist and clinician-investigator at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Levine has long focused on the concept that quality hospital care can be provided at home, offering benefits to both the patient and the health care system. After receiving a Spark Grant in 2018, Levine forged a relationship with Ariadne to explore the parameters of hospital care in the home in rural locations. He now heads Ariadne Labs\u2019 Home Hospital<\/a> program, which is conducting a randomized controlled trial to evaluate a rural home hospital model at three sites in the U.S. and Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAriadne is a group of extremely creative thinkers and folks who have a very diverse background of training and expertise, and it was a place that I felt moved faster than traditional academic research,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
