Data Challenges听

At various times, The 糖心Vlog will host Data Challenges encouraging cross collaboration among researchers to deepen understanding of a strategic, focused topic. Challenge participants are asked to address targeted research questions and teams are encouraged to leverage Get With The Guidelines庐 (GWTG) registry data, generalizable data and other publicly available datasets. All data must be de-identified. Each challenge participant will be provided a free, Precision Medicine Platform workspace to conduct all analyses. Use of the workspace for entry and submission of the application is mandatory for security. All workspaces are HIPPA compliant and FedRAMP low certified.
