FDA receives a vast amount of information from a variety of sources, including product submissions, adverse event reports, de-identified patient data from health care providers, and results from surveys and basic scientific research.

Successful integration and analysis of data from these and other disparate sources would provide knowledge and insight not possible from any one source alone. The following BAA-funded research projects are tapping new opportunities to realize the enormous potential of these data sources to enhance public health.
