Data for Your Research: the National COVID Cohort Collaborative
Fri. 14 Aug, 2020 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
The National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) is an NCATS-funded data sharing initiative to integrate electronic health record data about COVID patients from healthcare systems across the country. Collected data is integrated in a single, secure repository, and is made available for analysis by researchers spanning from clinicians to data scientists.
The N3C data repository contains clinical data on tens of thousands of COVID patients, and allows researchers broad access to test hypotheses, hunt for patterns, and run statistical models. In the webinar session, we will describe and outline N3C’s data in detail, talk through the data access process, and provide examples of how you can use this important resource for your research.
