Building a collaborative ecosystem across the IDeA-CTR networks in response to a public health emergency.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The urgency and scale of the COVID-19 pandemic demanded a coordinated response from public health agencies and the biomedical research community. The National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) was established as a centralized enclave in 2020 to support the study of COVID-19 across the U.S. The Institutional Development Award for Clinical and Translational Research (IDeA-CTR) centers enhanced N3C's national response by bringing representation from rural and medically underserved communities. This improved the representation of our diverse populations in the N3C Enclave and its use for research by IDeA-state investigators.

Methods

We developed an organizational structure across the IDeA-CTRs to improve research productivity in resource-challenged areas of the U.S.
