Virginia Commonwealth UniversityThe Mid-Atlantic Twin Registry (MATR) is an organization of twins and their families who are willing to consider taking part in twin-based, health-related research. The MATR welcomes twins of any age, ethnicity, and zygosity (identical or fraternal), as well as higher order multiples such as triplets, quadruplets and quintuplets.
CLICThis webcast provides an overview of concepts and approaches that hubs may consider in reaching data interoperability.
To accelerate translation, researchers need access to a broad range of data from a variety of sources (electronic health records, imaging, genetics, behavioral, etc.). These sources manage and store data differently, which creates the need for standardization. The Informatics Common Metric, which is in its second year, addresses the need to harmonize data across the CTSA Program. This will enhance
The webcast provides examples of how data interoperability was used in the N3C program for the COVID-19 pandemic. The first five webcasts are an introduction to informatics, created to build foundational knowledge and to define key terms. We encourage you to watch them in order.
June 14, 2021N3C Orientation Sessions A & B will now be offered just once-per-month (once for session A and once for session B). Sessions A & B will continue to alternate on a rotating basis. View the N3C Calendar for scheduled days and times. Previously recorded sessions can still be accessed on demand on the N3C Presentations & Webinars page of the website.-

March 31, 2021The month of April marks the one-year anniversary for the creation of the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) infrastructure. The N3C was built in just a few short months and is a testament to the dedication of the informatics community to fight the pandemic. The N3C mobilized the expertise of the community to create a national data repository, and was able to open the Enclave to the general-

March 04, 2021The National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) continues to grow as a robust EHR data resource, now with over 3 million persons represented and 4 billion rows of data from more than 42 sites. Currently, 24 multidisciplinary Domain Teams composed of clinical and subject matter experts, statisticians, informaticists, and machine learning specialists are addressing the most pressing clinical questions
February 22, 2021They say necessity is the mother of invention. In terms of healthcare, one of the most remarkable inventions begat by the pandemic is something called the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C). The vision of the scientists and researchers behind the N3C is to turn massive amounts of already available data into new knowledge urgently needed to study COVID-19 and identify potential treatments
February 04, 2021N3C held the first Enclave orientation sessions on February 2nd and 9th to engage users of all types with learning to use the N3C Data Enclave. The sessions were conducted by N3C Training Coordinator Shawn O’Neil and had over 100 participants for each session in attendance. This two-part training course will repeat on an ongoing basis, alternating week by week. To view training information and-
