The objectives of the SPOR National Data Platform will be to:

1. 1. Create efficiencies in data collection and reduce the time required for researchers to access multi-jurisdictional data.
2. 2. Establish systems of retrieval, standardization/harmonization and linkage of high priority clinical data to administrative and social data to enable richer population-based multi-jurisdictional studies to be conducted.
3. 3. Establish valid and reliable methods for linking primary research data (e.g., cohorts, clinical trials) to health administrative, social and other data to create efficiencies in data collection.
4. 4. Inform and provide innovative and ethical solutions to data access and its use through patient and partner engagement.
5. 5. Facilitate access to data analytic and data storage services, as needed, for multi-jurisdictional studies.
