The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is harnessing real-world data to help inform the agency’s overall response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. Two Evidence Accelerator projects have been launched: the COVID-19 Diagnostics Evidence Accelerator and the Therapeutic Evidence Accelerator.  The Diagnostics Evidence Accelerator is a multi-stakeholder collaborative project to advance the development of diagnostics, and is organized by the Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA in collaboration with Friends of Cancer Research. The Diagnostics Evidence Accelerator is the companion project to the previously announced Therapeutic Evidence Accelerator which brings together leading experts in health data aggregation and analytics in a unified, collaborative effort to share insights, compare results and answer key questions to inform the collective COVID-19 response.
