Ongoing Projects
The CLIF consortium is a network of NIH funded investigators.
Principal Investigators (PIs) in the consortium are supported by a wide range of NIH grants that use big data and advanced ML techniques to answer open scientific questions related to critical illness. Each of these projects would be better with CLIF rather than done in silos.
