Infectious disease and data
For this task, GO FAIR and ZonMw are calling on experts in the fields of infectious disease and data to participate. ZonMw is a member of GloPID-R, a world wide collaboration of research funders in the field of ‘preparedness’ for outbreaks of infectious disease. ZonMw and other funding agencies hope to contribute with this commission to the solution of the current crisis caused by this virus and the infectious disease COVID-19.
Personal Health Train
According to the principle of the ‘Personal Health Train’, data remain where they were generated and can be ‘visited’ for certain research questions. The administrators of the data determine the conditions under which the data may be consulted for certain questions. This way, data are made available for research in an equal, yet controlled manner. This approach might have come just in time to be of immediate use for de COVID-19 epidemic. Furthermore, it will significantly contribute to the preparedness of countries for future epidemics of this scale.
Role of ZonMw
We fund healthcare research and stimulate healthcare innovation. We have extensive experience in the fields of infectious disease and data, both nationally and internationally.
