Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Researchers and clinicians working with NHLBI-funded data and datasets who can benefit from improved data tools and discovery capabilities.
✕Less likely to help
Direct patient participation is not required for this data-centric core; benefits accrue through improved research tools used by others.
What this research studies
This grant funds a collaboration led by RTI International with universities to prepare NHLBI-funded research data for secure discovery and analysis. It focuses on scalable data-management processes, automated de-identification of medical images, and data harmonization to enable meaningful cross-study comparisons. The effort includes building data portals, biospecimen linking, and knowledge assets to support AI-enabled analyses while complying with data-use rules. The goal is to accelerate insights from large, complex health datasets for improved patient outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could benefit from faster, more secure access to analyses that inform better diagnoses and treatments for heart, lung, blood, and sleep conditions.
How similar studies have gone: Previous phases demonstrated scalable data-management workflows and effective data de-identification, with ongoing expansion to AI-ready data assets.
