Description of Collaborative Activity: |
Observational studies based, in part, on available CMS data could generate important knowledge and policy relevant findings. NIH and CMS established a Data Access Committee to identify and pursue short and long term research priorities. Current initiatives include: implementation of an Inter-Agency Agreement wherein NIH directly purchases blanket access to CMS data from CMS, instead of paying grantees to access these data individually (which incurs high indirect cost rates for NIH); and convening quarterly meetings of the CMS-NIH Data Access Committee to discuss data policy and access issues. Future meetings may include presentations by NIH-funded investigators and in-house CMS data analyses. |
