Project Overview

Objective

In 2022, HTG partnered with Mathematica and Datavant to launch the nation’s largest COVID-19 research database. By increasing the availability and access to a wide range of data, public and private health and health policy researchers may better investigate COVID-19, and it’s impact on populations with chronic health conditions or co-morbities that put them at higher risk of long COVID complications. 

Project Motivation

Understanding the causes, movement, and outcomes associated with COVID-19 are the key to preventing the next pandemic.  Delving into both its short and long term public health impacts positions policy researchers and policy makers to devise strategies, policies, and programs that directly address these challenges.

In addition to their experience engaging researchers, providing technical assistance, and preparting data for analysis, Mathematica enriches the partnership by providing its depth of experience in exploring complex questions using sophisticated analytic methods.
