Collaborative Analytics Through Data Federation

Integrating and visualizing multiple datasets to improve scientific research quality and collaboration.

Executive Summary

The ability to effectively collect and analyze data is vital for any scientific discovery. Today, HHS researchers have trouble accessing public health data in an effective manner and combining that data with their private research to gain scientific insight. This team proposed a web platform that integrates multiple datasets and utilizes data analytics and visualization technologies to improve research quality, collaboration, and accelerate scientific insight.
