TRANSCEND Database Resources

One goal of the Research Design, Compliance and Data Management Core (RDCDC) is to provide access to a variety of databases related to human health.

Rationale

The RDCDC provides information and access to databases that can help researchers develop research projects. Many datasets contain data at the group level, e.g., county or administrative area. Such databases are helpful for hypothesis development and/or generating preliminary data in support of further hypothesis testing. Other databases contain individual-level data that could be suitable for testing specific research hypotheses.

National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C)

The N3C Data Enclave is a secure cloud based clinical data and analytics platform for COVID related research, that contains vast amounts of data from a large network of health care organizations to accelerate advances in COVID-19 research and clinical care.

The N3C Data Enclave contains clinical data from the electronic health records of people who were tested for the novel coronavirus or who have had related symptoms. It is the largest limited collection of Electronic Health Records on COVID-19 patients in the world, containing billions of rows of data and millions of patient records.

Benefits of the N3C:

Access to large scale COVID-19 data from across the nation
Pilot data for grant proposals
Team science opportunities for new questions and to test informatics methods
Access to Domain Teams, statistics, machine learning (ML), informatics expertise
Training on ML analytics, NLP methods, tools, software, additional datasets
