N3C Domain Teams
N3C Domain Teams enable researchers with shared interests analyze data within the N3C Data Enclave and collaborate more efficiently in a team science environment. These teams provide an opportunity to collect pilot data for grant submissions, train algorithms on larger datasets, inform clinical trial design, learn how to use tools for large scale data, and validate results. Domain Teams are enabled by Slack channels for discussion, meetings, and document management and are supported by N3C. N3C encourages researchers of all levels to join a Domain Team that represents their interests, or to suggest new clinical areas to explore. A Domain Team can submit one or more research projects, but collaboration is encouraged for similar concepts.
Types of Domain Teams
Multi-discipline Clinical Domain Teams focus on clinical questions surrounding .....impact on health conditions and consist of clinical and subject matter experts, statisticians, informaticists, and machine learning specialists. Cross-Cutting Domain Teams have a varied focus that applies to multiple domains.

Domain Team Testimonial
Domain Teams
Cardiovascular Disease
The mission of the Cardiovascular Disease Clinical Domain Team is to better understand the effects of COVID-19 on patients with new and existing cardiovascular disease.
Diabetes & Obesity
The Diabetes and Obesity Clinical Domain Team aims to address questions regarding the relationship between diabetes and/or obesity and COVID-19.
Environmental Health
The Environmental Health Domain Team aims to study and understand the impact of environmental exposures on post-acute sequelae of COVID (PASC), also known as Long COVID, and other COVID-19 phenotypes.
Immunosuppressed or Compromised (ISC)
The Immunosuppressed/Compromised (ISC) Clinical Domain Team aims to gain a better understanding of how COVID-19 affects patient populations with suppressed or compromised immune systems.
Oncology
The Oncology Clinical Domain Team is studying outcomes of cancer patients who contract COVID-19.
Rural Health
The Rural Health Domain Team seeks to understand the epidemiology, utilization, treatment, and outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic in rural communities. The overarching goal is to develop better evidence for potential differences in the COVID-19 epidemic response and outcomes for rural health care centers and rural dwellers.
Social Drivers of Health (SDoH)
The Social Drivers of Health (SDoH) Clinical Domain Team aims to understand better the role of SDOH in COVID-19 and long-term COVID-19 incidence and outcomes. We work on data quality, data engineering, and health outcomes research. We use demographics, healthcare utilization trends, individual levels of SDoH, and area-level SDoH variables for analysis.
Cross Cutting Teams
Applicable Data Methods & Standards (ADM&S)
The Applicable Data Methods & Standards (ADM&S) Domain Team aims to explore which data methods & standards are applicable to the range of questions researchers will pursue within N3C.
