Access national patient data with MICHR
Working with several regional and national research networks, MICHR's Network-Based Research Unit (NBRU) is making COVID-19 patient data available to U-M researchers. Aggregating data from many medical centers will allow clinicians to get a more comprehensive picture of what treatments are and are not working, and predict which patients are at higher risk of negative outcomes.
Researchers interested in accessing local or national aggregated patient data, searching for COVID-19 trials, or initiating their own studies should contact um-michr@umich.edu.
