LDH project

The prerequisite for sharing data is to publicise existing data and research projects. NFDI4Health supports this goal by setting up decentralised registers that can be used individually for each study site, the so-called Local Data Hubs (LDH). In the Local Data Hub, studies at the study site are described in a standardised manner. This includes the objectives and descriptions of the studies, the parties involved and other study documents, publications and references to the data. Access to these resources can be regulated via fine-grained authorisations. Visibility at a global level is ensured by transferring them to a central component, the Health Study Hub. It can be used to search across all content published by different Local Data Hubs for studies that are of interest for further research questions and hypotheses and can be utilised. This also applies to research projects that utilise data from clinical care in order to answer innovative questions and validate hypotheses.

The aim of this call is to support the prototypical implementation of a Local Data Hub.
