N3C publishes researcher's guide

Dozens of technical, clinical, and regulatory experts from government agencies, healthcare organizations, academic institutions, and the private sector worked together to build the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C)—the nation's largest and most diverse set of de-identified health records to date. Today, thousands of researchers have actively engaged with N3C resulting in hundreds of scholarly products informing public policy and patient care.

The Researcher's Guide to N3C: A National Resource for Analyzing Real-World Health Data, or simply G2N3C, is an open-access volume covering all things N3C, from registration and Data Use Requests to data, tools, methods, and best practices.

Guided by the Education and Training Domain Team, over 35 domain experts from all walks of N3C have contributed their knowledge and time to this valuable resource. Whether you are just getting started with your first analysis or getting ready to publish, G2N3C can help. This guide can be used as a real-world resource in coursework for researchers and trainees.
