Source Description

The NIH Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics Data Hub (RADx Data Hub) is a centralized data repository that provides access to analytic tools and de-identified COVID-19 data from the RADx Initiative. The RADx Data Hub supports scientific efforts to better understand COVID-19 and factors associated with disparities in morbidity and mortality in underserved and vulnerable populations, by allowing researchers to discover, access, and perform analyses of COVID-19 datasets in a cloud-enabled platform.

Source Abstract

COVID RADx Data Hub is a NIH supported IID repository that includes clinical data.

Source Genre

IID

Source Access

No access issue, account not needed for publicly accessible study records From the site:

You do not need to create a RADx Data Hub account to browse study information and view public documents (e.g., metadata files and data dictionaries). To gain study-level access to original and transformed data files, you will need to create an account for the RADx Data Hub using your eRA Commons or NIH Login account. Once you have registered, sign into dbGAP with the same account and request access to a study. After you’ve been granted access, the study and its associated data files will appear in the ‘My Approved Data’ tab where you can download them or transfer them to the ‘Analytics Workbench’ for further analysis.

The above suggests that records in RADx may overlap with records in dbGAP so de-duplication may be needed between these two sources. Many (if not all) studies in their studies table appear to have dbGAP accession ids, so it could be that this source is more of a specialized collection of dbGAP records.
