CD2H Website Release

grves — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 23:06:14 +0000

The CTSA Program Data to Health Coordinating Center is delighted to announce the release of the CD2H website! The site is available at https://ctsa.ncats.nih.gov/cd2h and provides a conduit for the CTSA community to access CD2H resources and content, collaborate and exchange ideas with the translational informatics community through working groups and events, and promote and disseminate their own resources and initiatives.

The CD2H wants to hear from you! Learn more about working groups, sign up for the CD2H listserv, or contact the CD2H team directly by filling out the web form. You can also follow the conversation on Twitter at @data2health.

The CTSA Program National Center for Data to Health (CD2H) is supported by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) at the National Institutes of Health (Grant U24TR002306).

New CTSA Program Informatics Center to Create a Nationwide Data Ecosystem

grves — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 23:01:59 +0000

from: https://ncats.nih.gov/pubs/features/cd2h

Biomedical tools and technologies are evolving rapidly, enabling scientists to both generate and analyze more research data than ever before. But what happens when datasets become too large to share or when the data from various sources are so dissimilar that they cannot be combined easily with another related but different dataset? These types of data roadblocks slow or prevent the translation of scientific research into medical knowledge and, ultimately, health benefits.

By studying how data are created, used, and shared, informatics experts address challenges that result from the ever-increasing volume and complexity of data generation. By making broad, high-level connections across problems and projects, these efforts can help ensure that new knowledge and approaches can be disseminated widely for the greatest potential in getting new treatments to more patients more quickly.

Making data more meaningful, open and accessible is a key goal in NCATS’ efforts to improve translational science. In the fall of 2017, through its Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program , NCATS established the National Center for Data to Health (CD2H). Through the CD2H, informatics experts are developing standardized approaches and best practices, including algorithms and other specialized tools, to address operational and institutional barriers to sharing data. CD2H investigators are currently taking an inventory of the existing CTSA Program informatics and data-sharing resources that they can build upon.

“Some of the most valuable assets CTSA Program hubs have are data, but their potential can only be realized when they are used more comprehensively with the help of various informatics approaches,” said Melissa Haendel, Ph.D., program director for CD2H at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. “By working with others nationwide who are supported through the CTSA Program, we will identify problems and implement solutions to speed translation and provide better health for patients.”

CD2H Show and Tell: DREAM Challenge Opportunities for the CTSA Program

grves — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 22:27:09 +0000

January 4 | 10 AM PT & 1PM ET

This Show and Tell will feature DREAM Challenges and highlight how the CD2H is bringing this successful model to the CTSA Community. This will also be a great opportunity for CTSA members to learn about the CD2H Idea Competition, which will provide $100k in funding for one selected DREAM Challenge idea.

CD2H Phase III: Request for Project Proposals

grves — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 22:04:10 +0000

Welcome to the Center for Data to Health request for Phase III project proposals!

The goal of CD2H is to support community coordination and collaborative development across the CTSA program. As such, we are seeking project proposals from the community for which we can offer development support within our enterprise-level architecture, help initialize and support larger funding proposals, or otherwise consult with CTSA hubs on their collaborative informatics efforts. We work in concert with the CLIC to achieve these coordination and collaboration goals.

CD2H is arranged in four community cores, with internal infrastructure projects (such as the cloud architecture) and external community coordination and development projects (such as the Competitions tool you are using right now ;-)). Here we request community submissions of approximately 6-month projects for CD2H to help coordinate, develop, or implement in the context of the CTSA program. Phase III projects require multiple CTSAs to be involved and affiliation with at least one designated core. Projects may be longer than 6 months, but should have goals established within the 6 month timeframe.

We anticipate selecting projects or otherwise facilitating the proposed work based on project size and the magnitude of resource needs, recognizing that CD2H can only accommodate 4-6 projects during Phase III for the overall CD2H program. The selection process will be overseen by the iDTF leads, CD2H Steering Committee, community co-chairs, and NCATS. The goal of the initial submission is to prioritize ideas and teams and come up with a set of Phase III projects that are feasible, complementary in scope, and effectively make use of CD2H/NCATS resources. Selected projects will go through a subsequent project planning process to lay out deliverables and ensure adequate resourcing and participation.

Submission Open Date: 12/06/2019

Submission Close Date: 01/09/2020
