Data and Research Core
Address research priorities and needs to form an inclusive basis for AI/ML
The mission of the AIM-AHEAD Data and Research Core (DRC) is to broaden the diversity and representation of data in AI/ML and expand its availability to diverse teams of researchers to address health disparities.
Contact Data and Research Core
AIM-AHEAD has curated two data resources for approved health equity research and training projects funded by the program. Both feature electronic health record (EHR) and social and environmental determinants of health (SEDOH) data with an emphasis on historically underserved and under-represented populations.

AIM-AHEAD Data Bridge from MedStar Health
The MedStar Health System and the MedStar Health Research Institute (MHRI) include an extensive network of clinical facilities in the mid-Atlantic region, including 10 hospitals and over 200 affiliated facilities connected by MedStar’s Cerner EHR system, representing 5 million unique patients with approximately 48% African American patients.
The DRC and Infrastructure Core also collaborate to assist AIM-AHEAD awardees in locating other data sources to support their projects. As part of its mission to diversify datasets used in AI/ML, AIM-AHEAD has conducted a landscape survey to raise awareness about datasets that may be of interest to the research community. Each dataset has its own governance process and rules for access.
