Collaborations and Projects

· PCORnet is a national resource that offers the kind of research ecosystem that has long been pursued: a fully integrated network where vast, highly representative health data, research expertise, and patient insights are built-in and accessible from the very start.

· PaTH utilizes Patient Empowered Research to address the questions and concerns that matter most to our communities in order to make better health decisions. It is a Clinical Research Network comprised of 13 institutions.

· The RECOVER Consortium Initiative brings together patients, caregivers, clinicians, community leaders, and scientists from across the nation to understand, prevent, and treat PASC, including Long COVID.

· The COVID-19 electronic healthcare data initiative project is a national disease surveillance project that demonstrates PCORnet sites’ ability to collect information on COVID data through the implementation of a nationally distributed data infrastructure. The collection of these COVID-19 data help to answer critical questions to assist in the national response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

· Pragmatic non-Cancer Clinical Trials via PCORnet PREVENTABLE (Pragmatic Evaluation of Events and Benefits of Lipid-Lowering in Older Adults), ADAPTABLE(Aspirin Dosing: A Patient-centric Trial Assessing Benefits and Long-Term Effectiveness) in collaboration with CTMO and HOMES and Pragmatic Cancer Clinical Trials NET-Pro, ODYSSEY in collaboration with CTO.

· The Coordinating Center for the Participant Engagement and Cancer Genome Sequencing (PECGS) Network provides administrative and scientific support to the Network’s researchers and their participants; facilitates outreach and communications channels, and helps standardize approaches to data collection and processing, including guidance of best practices in participant engagement.

· Optimizing HEALing in Ohio (OHiO) Communities – Group randomized trial/community-based,18 counties in Ohio; part of the 36 communities of the HCS across 4 states

· Center for Serological Testing to Improve Outcomes from Pandemic COVID- 19 (STOP-COVID) aims to understand critical aspects of COVID19 transmission in both asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals; immune, host, and viral determinants of disease outcome; and factors associated with immune protection.

· Hairy Cell leukemia Registry project aims to create an international clinical database for this rare disease, to help researchers to better understand this disease and improve future treatments.

· The MPRINT (Indiana University-Ohio State University maternal & pediatric precision in therapeutics data, model, knowledge, & research CC (IU-OSU MPRINT DMKRCC)) Hub serves as a national resource for expertise in maternal and pediatric therapeutics to conduct and foster therapeutics-focused research in obstetrics, lactation, and pediatrics while enhancing inclusion of people with disabilities.

· Ohio Equity Institute (OEI) Disparities Outcomes Evaluation project collects data on evidence-based models of intervention aimed at reducing infant mortality rates, specifically Centering Pregnancy, Home Visiting, and Community Health Workers (CHWs).

· The impact of ENDS tax policies on the consumption of ENDS and cigarettes is a Cancer center project intended to study the various factors including price and tax burden of different tobacco and e-cigarette products, that impact tobacco and e-cigarette consumption among individuals..

· The Spine Phenome Project: Enabling Technology for Personalized Medicine is a Machine learning project intended to classify low-back pain patients based on various motion metrics/ measures.

· Linking education, produce provision, and community referrals to improve diabetes care (LINK) is a pragmatic randomized controlled trial (pRCT) that aims to test the effect of produce provision, diabetes education, and community referrals on hemoglobin A1c levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes experiencing food insecurity
