Secondary Data Core

The Secondary Data Core brings together faculty and staff with a shared interest in use of existing data for scientific knowledge discovery to answer important questions in clinical practice, disease etiology and treatment, risk factors and predictive modeling, social determinants of health, learning health systems, health behavior and health for all. Expertise in our group spans multiple areas and provide a centralized hub for collaboration including connecting investigators with informative data sources and like-minded colleagues, genesis and formulation of research hypotheses, innovative data exploration and discovery, rigorous study design considerations, development of grant proposals, writing analytic plans and dissemination of study findings in an informative fashion.

The Secondary Data Core has many members and partners around The Ohio State and Nationwide Children’s Hospital; both of which are comprised of faculty and staff with a wide array of areas of expertise.

CTSI Data Ethics Consultation

Although technology is progressing at a rapid pace, existing mechanisms for analyzing the ethical and societal implications of data science research are developing much more slowly. Much of data science research falls under a HIPAA permitted use, is exempted from IRB review, and/or is guided by broad consent language in data use agreements.  

Data ethics core helps researchers take appropriate steps to ensure that they are engaging in ethical research practices.

TDAI Data Science Services

Translational Data Analytics Institute (TDAI) Data Science Services focus on designing data workflows and infrastructure, discovering datasets, making interdisciplinary research connections across TDAI core and affiliate faculty and facilitating services related to designing cyberinfrastructure architecture to complement data design.

University Libraries Research Data Services

Schedule a Research Data consultation to discover tools and strategies to work with your data. Through the Research Commons, researchers can receive assistance with: Finding, acquiring and evaluating open and proprietary datasets; Planning for research data management and creating funder-compliant plans; Developing documentation and workflows that support scientific reproducibility; Sharing, publishing and preserving research data.

Center for Human Resource Research (CHRR)

CHRR offers data repository and data enclave services, allowing researchers to meet the demand for access and discoverability of datasets generated through federally funded grants and contracts. 

Researchers can also benefit from CHRR’s expert support in sample design, survey development and full survey management. CHRR provides multiple modes of data collection, data analytics, stringent data security measures and IRB coordination. By leveraging CHRR's resources, researchers can ensure data integrity and confidentiality, access large administrative datasets and receive support in survey design and administration, enabling them to focus on generating impactful insights.

Data Services at Nationwide Children's Hospital

The Nationwide Children’s Hospital offers data collaboration and data science services to researchers to support them in various data related activities, including getting access to the NCH EHR data, creating electronic data collection, as well as partnering with a data science team that employs innovative approaches to acquiring, managing, retrieving and analyzing data.
