Summary
Scott Duvall is an internationally recognized biomedical informatics leader with 14+ years of experience building large-scale research infrastructure that turns clinical and genomic data into decision-grade real-world evidence. As SVP of Real-World Evidence and former director of VA Informatics and Computing Infrastructure, he scaled a national research platform to 10,000+ users, implemented the OMOP common data model across linked EHR and claims data, and grew program revenue nearly threefold. A hands-on data scientist and engineer, he launched no-code genetic analysis, GPU-backed LLM capabilities, and an NLP/chart-review service supporting thousands of projects annually. He has authored 150+ peer-reviewed papers and presented in 84 cities across six continents, yet still focuses on practical reproducibility—evidenced by leading VA’s adoption of OHDSI best practices and a COVID-19 shared data resource used in 500+ studies. Based in Salt Lake City, he blends academic rigor with operational leadership, recruiting and scaling multidisciplinary teams from 19 to over 175 staff and contractors.
