This initiative will develop and validate a standards-based data architecture so that a structured set of data can be accessed from EHRs and be stored for merger with comparable data for other purposes, including: electronic Case Report Form (eCRF) used for clinical research including Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR); patient safety and adverse event reporting leveraging forms from AHRQ and FDA; and public health reporting of infectious diseases.
Study of Cancer Among United States Firefighters Research Initiative CDC NCI A retrospective cohort study to evaluate the relationship between occupational exposures of firefighters and cancer risk.
Subpopulations and Intermediate Outcome Measures in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Research Initiative FDA NHLBI SPIROMICS (SubPopulations and Intermediate Outcome Measures In Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Study) is an observational study of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) that seeks to identify practical intermediate outcome measures and mechanistically homogeneous subgroups of patients with the disease. The study was developed in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and will be implemented with industrial partners.
Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) Registry Resource Development CDC, HRSA NINDS, NHLBI The Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) Registry is a surveillance system to track sudden deaths in youths less than or equal to 19 years of age in up to 10 states and gather clinical data and a DNA sample to be used for research to explore the causes and risk factors for sudden death in the young. The SDY Registry is a collaboration between the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) - Medicare Database Resource Development CMS NCI The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare data are a unique resource that can be used for research related to the health care provided to persons with cancer. The database results from the linkage of two large population-based data sources: the SEER cancer registries data and the Medicare enrollment and claims files.
Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program Resource Development CDC NCI The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program is the premier source for cancer statistics in the U.S. It collects information on incidence, prevalence and survival from specific geographic areas representing 26 percent of the US population. Through SEER, we develop reports on all of these information areas plus cancer mortality for the entire country. The site is intended for anyone interested in U.S, cancer statistics or cancer surveillance methods.
