Overview: Analyzing patient data plays a central and critical role in advancing research across the broad spectrum of health care. This project will improve how the UI research community accesses and utilizes health science data by establishing the Iowa Health Data Resource (IHDR) on which future health informatics research initiatives can be built. This P3 funded project will position the UI as a national competitor for building interdisciplinary programs for next-generation research, curriculum, and student-engaged research development.
Who: IHDR is an intercollegiate project sponsored by the University of Iowa Health Science colleges and involved collaborators throughout campus. Project oversight is provided by a steering committee. An Intercollegiate Advisory and Implementation team (IAI team) are charged with realizing the goals of the project
Project goals
- Improve the understanding and availability of health data on campus. The IHDR will be designed by an intercollegiate team (Intercollegiate Advisory and Implementation Team: IAI-team) that will help customize the resource to fit the broad needs of health science research on campus. This team will also serve as advisors for investigators seeking the best ways to access, query, and analyze health data and how to develop grant proposals that will use this resource.
- Build transformative data sets for health science research. The IAI-team faculty will use data integration and mapping methodologies to create transformative data collections. These datasets will be a core part of several existing and emerging grant proposals for which faculty on this proposal are either PIs or Co-Is on.
- Establish a data enclave to enable big data and AI approaches to health and biomedical science using existing computational resources in ITS to access new health data storage resources managed by University of Iowa Healthcare. A critical feature of this data enclave is to supply data to Iowa-sponsored big data projects that use artificial intelligence (AI) methods such as machine learning and predictive analytics. This computational resource will provide data security, appropriate access for wide variety of users, and link to data from different health areas across Iowa.
