Palantir Partners with University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus to Establish the All of Us Research Program’s Center for Linkage and Acquisition of Data (CLAD)

DENVER--()--Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR) today announced its partnership with the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus to establish the Center for Linkage and Acquisition of Data (CLAD) as part of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) All of Us Research Program. All of Us is a historic research effort to drive new scientific discoveries and advance precision medicine and research. The center will connect new types of information to All of Us participant data to help researchers better understand the drivers of health and disease.

Unlike research studies that focus on a singular disease or group of people, the All of Us program is informing thousands of studies on a variety of health conditions. The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Palantir and other partners will work with All of Us to configure a secure platform for processing new data streams.

The CLAD team will be responsible for securely integrating health care claims and mortality data, as well as initial environmental data based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Environmental Justice Index. CLAD awardees will also explore ways to overcome the technical challenges associated with linking electronic health record (EHR) data from health information networks for participants who have consented to share this information. While most participants agree to share EHR data, the program is seeking ways to improve data completeness using national health information exchange standards.

“The approach to data collection for the Center for Linkage and Acquisition of Data will allow the program to maximize participants’ data and expand the utility of the All of Us dataset without asking more of our participants,” said Chris Lunt, chief technology officer of the All of Us Research Program. “This will enable All of Us data to answer questions researchers don’t yet have the means to investigate.”

As part of this effort, Palantir’s software will serve as the interoperable, digital backbone of the CLAD platform, securely connecting these new types of information to All of Us participant data to provide researchers more information to better understand the factors that influence health. Palantir’s software is able to securely ingest, harmonize, evaluate, and assess the quality of the new data sources, while also providing best-in-class governance and security controls to ensure data protection and privacy.

“We originally began our partnership with the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus at the NIH in May of 2020 through our work as the secure data enclave for the National Covid Cohort Collaborative (N3C) program. Recognizing that critical health outcomes require close collaboration across the health care ecosystem, we're honored to partner with peers across government, industry, and academia to support the All of Us Research Program,” said Hirsh Jain, Head of Public Health, Federal, Palantir. “This program has the potential to dramatically improve health outcomes and we are excited to be a part of the team.”

“We are thrilled to become part of the All of Us Research Program family. CLAD represents an unprecedented and innovative partnership to leverage real-world data to improve health and health equity. Palantir’s Foundry Platform will allow us to securely integrate, harmonize, clean, and assess these varied data types and explore novel approaches to analyzing them that can accelerate future research,” said Melissa Haendel, Ph.D., Marsico Chair in Data Science and Chief Research Informatics Officer at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, and Principal Investigator for CLAD.

After an initial 18-month base period, the award may be renewed annually for up to four additional years so the team can continue to build on this work and include additional data streams for research. The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Palantir, and its partners were selected following an extensive and competitive process. Palantir’s work on the All of Us Research Program’s Center for Linkage and Acquisition of Data is funded by a subaward from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, which is funded by National Institutes of Health award OT2OD036113.
