Information About the Portal

 

 

The GIC portal is the first portal that allows end-users to query for genomic data, clinical data, and biospecimen metadata across multiple institutions at this scale. The portal provides a user-friendly window to explore aggregate, de-identified information on a large cohort of prospectively enrolled, broadly consented participants. The portal offers a search bar to query by genotype, electronic health record data (including processed data from textual notes), and biospecimens all within one query. 

​​

Who Can Access the Portal

​

All researchers and clinicians, who have up to date CITI training and who are employed by a GIC member site, are eligible to access the GIC.

How to Request Access the Portal
