N3C has been a key resource in COVID-19 research, working almost like a sixth sense to help researchers and others gain new information. In addition to its large collection of clinical data, N3C currently links to 71 other data sets to create a more complete picture of COVID-19 health outcomes. Multidisciplinary research teams continue to work within the N3C Data Enclave to explore important COVID-19 health questions. |

N3C Workshop @ AMIA 2024 Real-World Analytics with Harmonized Multi-Site EHR Data: An Instructional Workshop
Monday, March 18 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM EDT
This half-day instructional workshop will introduce attendees, including those with no programming experience, to analysis of multi-site, harmonized medical records and Electronic Health Record (EHR) data.Participants will have access to a cloud-hosted environment and will practice manipulating, analyzing, and visualizing EHR data. We’ll explore graphical and code-based analytic tools and learn about OMOP, a common data model, that is growing rapidly in adoption for real-world data research. With the growing accessibility of real-world data for research purposes, we will discuss the challenges and prospects it presents in comparison to data specifically produced for research (i.e., curated data such as from clinical trials), particularly in the context of multi-site datasets. This includes both novel challenges (e.g. heterogenous missingness) and opportunities (e.g. large-scale machine learning). |
N3C Workshop after ACTS 2024
Strategies for Successful Real World Data Research and Workforce Development
Friday, April 5 12 PM - 3 PM PDT Continue your learning after Translational Science 2024 and join us for “Strategies for Successful Real World Data Research and Workforce Development.” Tailored for Decision Makers, PIs, Clinical Informaticists, Program Directors, and Instructors, this workshop dives into the intricacies of incorporating real-world data (RWD) into clinical trials and research studies, including discussing team science and the diverse roles and expertise needed for successful RWD research. Interactive breakouts will help you gain insights into data quality issues, understand the nuances, and discover the future of RWD training and infrastructure to support research. Don’t miss this opportunity to shape the future of clinical research and empower the next generation of professionals in this field! |

"Our research leveraging the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) Data Enclave has provided key insights into COVID-19 and surgical outcomes that have informed international surgical policy. The harmonized data structure and platform that supports N3C has allowed us to quickly answer time-sensitive, surgically important questions with a true team science approach. N3C also facilitates education and training for working with real world data. Since all data management and analytics happens in a single (and transparent) workspace, it allows for sharing, rapid feedback, and teaching between trainees and mentors." |

To help our community with a positive and productive workload, N3C schedules several “No Meeting Weeks” throughout the year. Upcoming Dates May 27-31 July 1-5 August 1-16 November 11-15
N3C support will continue with regular operations during these dates. Most meetings will be canceled. Impromptu meetings can still occur to push through action items as needed during no meeting week. Workgroups and Domain Teams should check with their Leads to determine meeting schedules for that week. |

The National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) is a complementary and synergistic partnership among the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program hubs, the National Center for Data to Health (CD2H), distributed clinical data networks (PCORnet, OHDSI, ACT, TriNetX), and other partner organizations, with overall stewardship by NIH’s National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS). The N3C aims to improve the efficiency and accessibility of analyses using a very large row-level (patient-level) COVID-19 clinical dataset, demonstrate a novel approach for collaborative pandemic data sharing, and speed understanding of and treatments for COVID-19. |

CD2H is supported by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, National Institutes of Health, under Contract No. 75N95023D00001 from the Department of Health and Human Services. |
