Watch the recent Grand Rounds webinar presented by Dr. Ken Gersing of the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences and Dr. Robert Star of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases to learn more about the COVID Open Science Collaborative Analytics Platform: National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C).
The N3C initiative aims to build a centralized national data resource that researchers can use to study COVID-19 and identify potential treatments as the pandemic continues to evolve. N3C is a partnership among the Clinical and Translational Science Awards Program hubs and the National Center for Data to Health, with overall stewardship by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS).
The goals of N3C are to:
- Rapidly collect and aggregate clinical, lab, and imaging data from hospitals, health plans, and CMS at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic and as it evolves
- Provide a longitudinal dataset to understand acute hospital and recovery phases
- Understand pathophysiology of disease
- Support clinical trials by identifying patients who might wish to participate in trials
