Data Partners & Cohorts

A summary of CO-CONNECT's Data Partners and onboarded COVID-19 datasets.

By 27 October 2022, the CO-CONNECT Project has successfully onboarded 50 datasets onto the Health Data Research Innovation Gateway and 13 data sets into the Cohort Discovery Search Tool, including 12 COVID-19 research cohorts.

Who are our Data Partners?

Our Data Partners are the data custodians that the CO-CONNECT team have worked with to get their research cohorts live and discoverable on HDR Innovation Gateway’s Cohort Discovery Search Tool (CDST). They were in charge of managing and protecting the cohorts that CO-CONNECT made discoverable on the CDST

Each profile provides a brief overview a cohort, their data custodian, and the research they were involved in.
