Please join the Coordinating Center for PCORnet® for a Best Practices Sharing Session on Wednesday, May 6, 12-1pm ET, focused on how Datavant supports collaboration across PCORnet. Our guest speakers for this webinar are from Datavant:

• Claire Manneh, Sr. Practice Lead for Provider Research Institutions
• Alyna Dada, Strategic Engagement Lead for Provider Research Institutions

Since 2019, Datavant has served as a secure connectivity layer for PCORnet, supporting 78 PCORnet® network partners across eight PCORnet® Clinical Research Networks (CRNs) through privacy-preserving record linkage and network enablement.

This session will provide an overview of Datavant’s engagement with PCORnet, including how CRNs can collaborate with Datavant on research projects, pathways for partnership, and how Datavant can support network-wide connectivity. The presentation will also highlight Datavant’s core offerings, including privacy-preserving record linkage, Datavant Connect for partnership discovery, and capabilities that enable scalable, multi-site research and real-world evidence generation.

April 22, 2026
12 pm – 1 pm (ET) 

Please join the Coordinating Center for PCORnet® for a Best Practices Sharing Session on Wednesday, April 22, 12-1pm ET. Our guest speaker for this webinar is Dr. Yong Chen, Professor of Biostatistics at Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Informatics at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine.

Dr. Chen’s presentation is titled, “Empowering Multi-Site Studies via Federated Learning Using Privacy-Preserving Distributed Algorithms (PDA).” He will present a practical overview of Privacy-Preserving Distributed Algorithms (PDA) for federated learning across multi-institutional networks. The session will highlight how PDA enables association, causal, and subphenotyping analyses without sharing individual-level patient data, drawing on real-world deployments within PCORnet, OHDSI, and other national research networks.
