The IHDR project supports research efforts by creating accessible health-related datasets and developing tools that protect confidentiality while providing access to health information for research purposes. This multi-collegiate collaboration leverages our institution's strength in fostering a collaborative and integrated culture. The FY2025 project seeks to complete the enhancement of campus-wide data literacy and accessibility initiative by the original P3 investment in IHDR and to establish an ecosystem that enables data-driven health research across campus.

Activities to date:

• Added 10 new Data Liaisons from July to September 2024, including faculty from the College of Engineering, faculty and staff from the Tippie
  College of Business, staff from Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, and staff from the College of Public Health.
• Created an expedited version of formal and experiential learning to make training more accessible to the research community.
