The National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) was created in the Spring of 2020 to enable data sharing and collaborative research focused on COVID-19 across U.S. healthcare organizations. N3C is a partnership between the National Center for Data to Health (CD2H), healthcare organizations and subject matter experts with support from NCATS. N3C focuses on Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program hubs and fostered a rapidly growing collaborative network of healthcare organizations and research communities that now includes a consortium of eight Clinical and Translational Research (IDeA-CTR) programs. In early December 2020, 40 healthcare organizations were already sharing clinical data with N3C regularly, and more than 70 were at various stages of the administrative and legal process required before sharing clinical data. In this presentation, we will introduce the N3C Data Enclave and its content, discuss the data harmonization process and explain how to gain access to the Enclave.
