ABSTRACT
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has a strong track record providing high-quality, evidence-based care to cancer patients. In order to accelerate discoveries that will further improve care for Veterans with cancer, the VA has partnered with the Center for Translational Data Science at the University of Chicago and the Open Commons Consortium to establish a data sharing platform, the Veterans Precision Oncology Data Commons (VPODC). The VPODC makes clinical, genomic, and imaging data from the VA available to the research community at large. In this paper, we detail our motivation for data sharing, describe the VPODC, and outline our collaboration model. By transforming VA data into a national resource for research in precision oncology, the VPODC seeks to foster innovation through collaboration and resource sharing that will ultimately lead to improved care for Veterans with cancer.
