UW Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention (UW-CTRI) and the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center's (UWCCC) Cancer Cessation Initiative (C3I) Coordinating Center coordinate a project to rapidly collect, harmonize, analyze, and report on discrete EHR data elements of COVID patients. This COVID data project is working to determine the associations between a variety of variables including smoking history, cancer history, demographics, co-morbid medical conditions, laboratory data, and medications and adverse COVID outcomes including intubation and death. 21 health systems across the United States are participating and provide relevant de-indentified data to UW-CTRI on more than 170,000 COVID patients. Participating health systems will continue to update their data set with new COVID patients, providing monthly data updates through the end of 2020. The National Cancer Institute has supported this initiative as part of the C3I program.
 
A project administrator is needed to lead and manage the administrative efforts of the UW-CTRI/UWCCC COVID project, providing superior scientific and logistical project management and organization to the project.
