Interested in Accessing Clinical Data?
Join us for an "Introduction to the Clinical and Research Data Warehouse", presented by Branimir Ljubic, Senior Scientist in Rutgers' Office of Advanced Research Computing.
These sessions will discuss what the CRDW is, what data it contains, where it is housed, the analytic and computing environment, the process for requesting CRDW data and the services that the CRDW team can provide to researchers.
We are providing two opportunities to learn about the CRDW. Please register for the session you prefer.
