Nature Medicine: COVID-19 Research in Brief
Nature began (in late March, 2020) producing weekly round-ups of how science is responding to COVID-19. Briefs include summaries and links to clinical trials and human studies, preclinical studies, and epidemiological research.
CDC Library
This database is updated by systematically searching various bibliographic databases and hand searching selected grey literature sources. Updates are posted every day, Monday through Friday. The database includes:
COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19)
A free resource of 50,000+ scholarly articles about the novel coronavirus for use by the global research community
ProQuest Coronavirus Research Database
Openly available content related to coronaviruses. It includes thousands of open-access articles from the world’s leading publishers as well as current research from pre-print repositories such as arXiv.
Collection of various research outputs (e.g., datasets, publications, presentations, software) related to COVID-19. Contains both Open Access and restricted research materials.
Data repository for COVID-19 data related to social, behavioral, public health, and economic impacts of the pandemic
A free and growing collection scholarly publications related to the novel coronavirus.
A published collection of over 150 million posts related to COVID-19 on Twitter
Epidemiologically-relevant, aggregated mobility data from mobile devices and technology that could help to inform policies that reduce the spread of the viruses.
UCI researchers have access to the following COVID-19 clinical data resources. Use UCI credentials for registration and log in:
The N3C is a partnership among NCATS (National Center for Advancing Translational Science) supported CTSA (Clinical and Translational Science Awards Program) hubs and the National Center for Data to Health. 38 collaborating institutions (to date), including UCI, contribute and use COVID-19 data to investigate research questions related to the pandemic.
The N3C Data Enclave is a secure clinical data resource and analytics platform for COVID-19 research. COVID-19 datasets and analytics tools are accessible in an analytics platform that enables online discovery, visualization and collaboration. Users must register with N3C, complete the required training, and submit a Data Use Request. No individual IRB is required.
For more information, see the N3C FAQ.
A HIPAA Limited Data Set comprised of electronic health records data across the five UC medical campuses for individuals tested for COVID-19 (both positive or negative results included). The dataset is generated from UC Health Data Warehouse (UCHDW). Dates of services are retained. No individual IRB is required to access the dataset.
For more information on requesting access to UC CORDS and the virtual computing environment (MyResearch Portal), see the UC CORDS FAQ.
UCI's Department of Pathology, CCR, and ICTS are working to develop a comprehensive research biobank that will be available for a myriad of research projects.
Requests will be evaluated by the biobank committee and prioritized based on scientific merit, feasibility and novelty. UCI faculty and affiliates are eligible to apply for samples.
