This webinar was hosted virtually through Zoom.
Purpose and Background
The purpose of the NIA Data LINKAGE Program (LINKAGE) is to link NIA-funded study data with existing datasets from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and other sources and establish a cloud-based environment to support data accessibility and sharing. In providing these resources free of charge, LINKAGE aims to reduce resource cost and time barriers and promote access for researchers.
This webinar features the Long Life Family Study (LLFS) linked with CMS data. The LLFS team presented an overview of their study and the CMS data they offer to researchers. Examples of linked data were presented along with information on how to access LLFS-CMS linked data. Additionally, use case examples of using LLFS-CMS linked data were provided to highlight the research that can be accomplished through linked CMS data.
