摘要

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a collaborative public–private partnership was launched to harness evidence from rapidly accruing real-world data (RWD) in various healthcare settings, with the goal of characterizing and understanding COVID-19 in near real-time, by applying rigorous epidemiological methods and defining research best practices. Projects were conducted in 4 phases: Research Planning and Prioritization, Protocol Development, Protocol Implementation, and Results Dissemination. During these projects, areas were identified with a current or future need to enhance existing best practices. This report provides a summary of our research processes, including application of new and existing practices, along with key learnings related to the challenges of conducting research when the clinical landscape is rapidly evolving as was the case during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such processes and learnings may be helpful to the broader research community when using RWD to understand or address future public health priorities.
