Alan Turing Institute: NGO against COVID-19 Grant Funding
Entity: Alan Turing Institute
Category: Non-Governmental
Description: The Alan Turing Institute, headquartered in the British Library, London, was created as the national institute for data science in 2015. In 2017, as a result of a government recommendation, we added artificial intelligence to our remit.
1. Programme Title: Call for COVID-19 rapid response data science taskforce (DECOVID)
Summary: Most of what we currently know of COVID-19 comes from data about its outbreak in China and Italy, but there may be differences in presentation and course within the multi-ethnic communities of the UK which have not been described thus far. Within the UK, high level mapping is being captured by Public Health England, but there is a lack of in-depth and granular data capture. This in-depth data is needed to inform prognostic prediction tools, enable effective clinical care or model the ongoing and likely future impact of COVID-19.
DECOVID is an emerging research collaboration between The Alan Turing Institute, NHS Trusts, HDR UK and other academic partners. This collaboration aims to use near real-time health data as the Covid-19 pandemic unfolds to allow researchers and clinicians to identify factors and generate insights that can lead to more effective clinical treatment strategies. DECOVID will be affiliated to PIONEER - the Health Data Research Hub for Acute Care. This is a rapid response call for teams of researchers as well as individual researchers to join collaboration in addressing these urgent questions. Teams will rapidly trial tested, robust and reproducible data science and machine learning methods on this new national data resource of COVID 19 data, to create a near real-time, human-in-the-loop analytics platform and information console to support acute care management and clinical decision making. DECOVID has been structured to be nationally scalable.
