CDI Spotlight - Informatics and Clinical Research Innovation
Data resources and services available to all University of Michigan researchers in diabetes, diabetic complications, obesity, and metabolism
The U-M Pediatrics and Elizabeth Weiser Caswell Diabetes Institute (CDI) Data Repository helps researchers make the leap from data to insights. The data repository amasses local electronic health record data of Michigan Medicine patients since 2012. University of Michigan researchers may request de-identified or aggregate/summary-level data, limited/coded datasets, or full-PHI (identifiable) datasets for secondary analyses.
In partnership with the newly established Childhood Obesity Research Core (CORC) of the Michigan Nutrition Obesity Research Center (MNORC), researchers may request one-on-one consultation during any stage of their research. Complimentary services include data queries, design and development of customized provider- and patient-facing health IT tools such as Epic-integrated Smart-Sets and flowsheets, visual dashboards to better understand and interpret data, and consultation on study design, data availability, statistical methods, and IRB submissions/requirements.
