i2b2 is available on Wednesdays to researchers who have completed training. If you need additional time using i2b2, contact Research Information Technology (RIT).

The Ohio State University Research Data Repository (RDR) provides Ohio State researchers the ability to perform self-service cohort discovery for research purposes in order to support hypothesis generation, feasibility analysis and study population enrollment reports.

The RDR is an IRB-approved database populated with a coded-limited dataset sourced from Ohio State Wexner Medical Center Electronic Health Record via the Information Warehouse. Application level access to the RDR is implemented via the Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) software product developed at the Partners Healthcare System which has been adopted by over 80 Academic Health Centers across the country.

The RDR is available for use by Ohio State biomedical research community members (faculty and staff) affiliated with the The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and/or one of the seven Ohio State health sciences colleges: Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Optometry, Pharmacy, Public Health and Veterinary Medicine.

For questions about cohort discovery and feasibility, including to learn about accessing i2b2, please contact College of Medicine Research IT at askrit@osumc.edu.
