# NFDI4Health

**NFDI4Health** is a national research data infrastructure consortium in Germany specifically focused on health data. It is one of the nine consortia established under the [[nationale-forschungsdaten-infrastruktur-nfdi]] framework.

## Objectives
The primary goal of NFDI4Health is to build a comprehensive inventory of German epidemiological, public health, and clinical study data.

## Implementation and Tools
- **Centralized Data Catalog**: The consortium is creating a centralized catalog featuring advanced search functions and sophisticated data access management.
- **Data Protection**: The project adheres to strict data protection requirements for personal health information due to the nature of the data.
- **Covid-19 Taskforce**: A specific task force was established to create an inventory of studies related to Covid-19, supported by additional DFG funding.

## Local Integration at [[universitat-greifswald]]
At the [[universitat-greifswald]], NFDI4Health is integrated into the research data management support system, primarily through collaborations between the [[universitatsmedizin]] and **ZB MED**. 

To support medical researchers in publishing their data according to FAIR principles, the consortium provides:
- "Hands-on" workshops
- Specialized tools, such as the Study Hub
