Critical to this mission is the ability to manage data, generate insights, and foster collaboration across National Institutes of Health (NIH) Institutes and Centers and with external partners such as research hospitals, academic institutions, other government agencies, and industry stakeholders. NIH, NCATS, and NCATS collaborators are among the world's leading researchers, and they have access to large, cutting-edge data sources. An increasingly complex challenge is to translate these disparate, ever-evolving data sets into actionable insights that accelerate the pace of science and clinical development. Tools are needed to enable teams to ask complex, multi-faceted questions and to collaborate more seamlessly and securely across various teams.
NCATS has established the NCATS Secure Scientific Platform Environment, a specialized cloud-based data aggregation and analytics enclave that can integrate, manage, secure, and analyze any kind of scientific data, and provide secure, controlled access to internal and external collaborators.
Within the Environment, multiple NIH ICs, Federal agencies, and Federal task forces integrate, manage, secure, and analyze all types of scientific data using dedicated platforms, and, equally importantly, make that data available in specific and controlled collaborations with each other and with external collaborators.
Purpose and Objectives: The objective of this contract is to provide support for the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) Data Enclave.
The N3C Data Enclave is a secure platform through which harmonized clinical data provided by contributing members is stored. The data itself can only be accessed through a secure cloud portal hosted by NCATS and cannot be downloaded or removed. Detailed information about the Enclave can be found on the N3C website, https://covid.cd2h.org/.
Please refer to the attached Sources Sought Notice for additional information.
