The Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA and Friends of Cancer Research, created the Evidence Accelerator, a public-private partnership combining the efforts of academic, government, and private sector organizations applying data analytics to accelerate the understanding of COVID-19.
Mobilizing major data organizations, government and academic researchers, and health systems, the Evidence Accelerator builds on the work of its partners to maximize the use of real-world data. Contributing researchers will engage in weekly meetings to present and critically discuss findings from different data sources. In addition, the Evidence Accelerator will facilitate parallel analyses of questions to identify patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and management strategies for COVID-19.
