ICPSR Mourns the Passing of Council Member Katherine K. Wallman
|
|
ICPSR joins the countless many remembering the life and work of Katherine K. Wallman, 80, who passed away on Jan. 17, 2024, after a brief illness.
Wallman served as Chief Statistician of the United States for 25 years, retiring at the end of 2016. In 2017, Wallman was elected to her first four-year term on the governing Council of the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), part of the Institute for Social Research (ISR) at the University of Michigan. She served with dedication from 2018-2022. Wallman was in the middle of her second Council term, 2022-2026, at her passing. “We were incredibly lucky that she devoted some of her time after her retirement to ICPSR, as well as to other activities strengthening the federal statistical system and data literacy more broadly,” said ICPSR Director Margaret Levenstein. “We will – I will – miss her enormously.” See our full tribute.

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Data Repository (PCODR) is Expanding
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Data Repository (PCODR), funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), is the place to discover, access, and analyze comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) data collected through studies funded by PCORI. The repository contains data from a growing number of patient-centered CER studies covering a range of diseases and therapeutic areas, including lower back pain, stroke, cardiovascular, and mental health. Underlying data and data documentation (e.g., study protocol, metadata, and analytic code) from PCORI-funded studies are available for further scientific inquiry consistent with participant informed consent. By providing free access to this repository of electronic data, PCORI is helping to improve the capacity to conduct health research, specifically patient-centered CER, by enabling researchers to verify and build on study findings to generate new evidence. New data is being added regularly.
