NEW Participate: Track 2

To participate in Track 2, teams are required to register, sign the n2c2 Rules of Conduct, and sign Data Use Agreements for MIMIC (Subtasks A–C) and for the University of Washington (Subtasks B and C) to get access to the datasets. See below for details on each DUA.

MIMIC DUA

You must assemble and submit a PDF demonstrating that you have both of the following:

  • A credentialed account on the PhysioNet website
  • An approved DUA associated with the MIMIC-III Clinical Database (v1.4)

In 2019, PhysioNet changed their credentialing system, and the profile views differ for pre-2019 and post-2019 PhysioNet accounts. Where applicable, the instructions below differentiate between these account vintages.

Steps

  1. Log in to PhysioNet with your email and password.
  2. On the top right corner, you will see your profile name with a dropdown menu.
  3. Go into the Settings page.
  4. Capture credentialing information:

    1. If you were credentialed pre-2019, go to Emails and capture a screenshot that includes both your username and email address to include in a PDF for upload.

    2. Then go to Credentialing and capture a screenshot that includes both your username and the credentialing date to include in a PDF for upload.
