National Data Streams (NDS)

On the road towards establishing a Swiss personalized health ecosystem, SPHN and Personalized Health and Related Technologies (PHRT), a Strategic Focus Area of the ETH Domain, have launched a joint call for proposals for National Data Streams (NDS).

NDS are multidisciplinary consortial research infrastructures (platforms) involving a national network of clinical and science/engineering partners. NDS build on pre-existing infrastructures and datasets, encompass clinical and analytical data (e.g., multi-omics), and include a lighthouse research project.

For NDS grantees: Please find all grant management documents on the right side of this window.

Four NDS projects have started in September 2022 (click on the project title for more information):

• Personalized, data-driven prediction and assessment of infection-related outcomes in Swiss ICUs (IICU) (Prof. Dr. Adrian Egli (USB) & Prof. Dr. Karsten Borgwardt (ETHZ))
• Swiss Personalized Oncology National Data Stream (SPO-NDS) (Prof. Dr. Olivier Michielin (CHUV) & Prof. Dr. Bernd Bodenmiller (ETHZ))
• Pediatric personalized research network Switzerland (SwissPedHealth) – a Joint Pediatric National Data Stream (Prof. Dr. Luregn Schlapbach (University Children’s Hospital Zurich) & Prof. Dr. Julia Vogt (ETHZ))
• LUCID, Low Value of Care in Hospitalized Patients, a National Data Stream on Quality of Care in Swiss university hospitals (Dr. Marie Méan (CHUV) & Dr. Guillaume Obozinski (EPFL)).

Each NDS project will receive up to CHF 5 million and have a runtime of 3 years. SPHN funding requires matching funds from the participating institutions.
