IT-Infrastruktur

Our Topics

IT Infrastructure

Data infrastructures must be consistently and systematically established and further developed. This is the only way to significantly improve the data situation in Germany for medical research and better patient care.

Sebastian C. Semler

The focus on a decentralized research data infrastructure is the right approach.

Sebastian C. Semler, TMF Managing Director

The German Portal for Medical Research Data (FDPG)

The German Portal for Medical Research Data (FDPG)

At the German Portal for Medical Research Data (FDPG), researchers can centrally apply for health data and biosamples from the German university medicine for scientific investigations.

The portal was developed within the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) and is operated by the TMF.

Projects on the Topic [German only]

The TMF is a coordinating body for strategically relevant collaborative research projects at national and international levels. It is also involved in many small and large research projects as a specialized partner with a high level of expertise, particularly in legal, data protection, and ethical issues. In addition, it is involved in the development of concepts and project ideas for ministries and scientific institutions - regionally, nationally, and internationally.

Third-Party Funded Project

Since 2016, TMF has headed the coordination office of the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMFTR), which it operates jointly with the Medical Faculty Association (MFT) and the Association of University Hospitals in Germany (VUD). This is where the staff of the supporting structure work and where the committee meetings take place. This enables close integration with the activities of TMF as the umbrella organization for IT infrastructures and research data management in medicine.

Drittmittelprojekt

TEHDAS2 ist eine Joint Action des EU4Health-Programms im Rahmen einer direkten Zuwendung an die Mitgliedsstaaten für vorbereitende Aktivitäten zur Sekundärnutzung von Daten im Europäischen Gesundheitsdatenraum (EHDS). Es sollen Leitlinien und technischen Spezifikationen für Datenhalter, Datennutzer und Gesundheitsdaten-Zugangsstellen erstellt werden, um so die Voraussetzungen für die Durchführung gemeinsamer Maßnahmen zur Sekundär­datennutzung im EHDS zu schaffen.

Innovationspapier zur Förderung des Gesund­heits­forschungs- und Wirtschaftsstandorts

Die TMF, der Verband forschender Pharma-Unternehmen (vfa) und der Bundesverband Medizintechnologie (BVMed) fordern in einem gemeinsamen Positionspapier konkrete Maßnahmen, um Deutschland als führenden Standort für Gesundheitsforschung und Innovation zu stärken. Im Zentrum stehen bessere Strukturen für Translation und Transfer – etwa durch Translationszentren an Universitätskliniken, digitale Datenplattformen und neue Partnerschaftsmodelle.
