Singapore Strategic Cohorts Consortium (SSCC)
Funded by NCO, the Singapore Strategic Cohorts Consortium (SSCC) is a joint resource established by existing population cohorts, and available for research by the wider ecosystem in line with FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reuseable).
Current activities include:
- Harmonising and aggregating data across cohorts
- Developing common data access framework
- Implementing Trusted Research Environment (TRE) for safe and secure access to data
