NCO 2025 Request for Proposals (RFP) Awardees
Funded by NCO, the awardees of the 2025 RFP were selected to uplift their data collection, visibility and generate new insights through data linkage on TRUST (Trusted Research and Real World Utilisation and Sharing Tech). Applications were reviewed and selected by NCO’s Steering Committee and Scientific Advisory Board based on merit.
Current priorities of the funded cohorts:
- Maximise utility, value and impact of existing population cohorts by uplifting to FAIR principles;
- Support existing population cohorts to prepare their data and processes to enable linkage and secondary use; and
- Enrich and generate new insights from use cases through data linkage of existing population cohorts with other datasets on TRUST.
