Abstract

The International COVID-19 Data Research Alliance and Workbench provide a co-ordinated international platform to enable researchers to access global data to derive rapid insights about COVID-19 and speed up the development of treatments. Convened by Health Data Research UK, the Alliance is an independent consortium of leading life science, philanthropic and research organisations uniting to respond to the COVID-19 global pandemic. The first intiative for the alliance, The Workbench, will connect to regional or national data infrastructures used by International Alliance members, such as the national BREATHE health data research hub in the UK.
