What is this project?

Weill Cornell Medicine is committed to excellence in patient care, scientific discovery and the education of future physicians in New York City and around the world. Data Core is intended primarily for faculty and their collaborators, including student projects or instruction. It is designed to facilitate and streamline research and analysis by providing the following services:

• Securely store and customize researcher access to data in accordance with access restrictions from data use agreements, IRB protocols, and other constraints relevant to the type of data

• Provide a shared workspace for members of a research team to ensure all researchers are working with the most up-to-date information, including common reference data. This includes non-Weill Cornell collaborators

• Hold source data in read-only format to prevent overwriting

• Enable software applications for research and analytics (see list below) 

• Eliminate duplicative or less secure data management methods (such as local and remote data storage and computing)

• Simplify research data management

• Eligibility for metadata management capabilities as they are developed.
