NFDI4Health is part of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), funded by the federal and state governments. NFDI4Health aims to build a comprehensive inventory of German epidemiological, public health, and clinical study data. The analysis of these data is essential for the development of new therapies, cross-cutting care approaches, and preventive measures. Personal health data require special protection. Therefore, NFDI4Health’s stated objective is to combine security with usability. The consortium comprises an interdisciplinary team from 14 partner institutions. In addition, 52 renowned institutions and individuals from the healthcare sector have pledged their participation; letters of support have been received from 8 (inter)national institutions.
