iPHD “At-a-Glance”

The iPHD aims to improve the health, safety, security, and well-being of New Jersey residents, as well as the efficiency of state government, by securely linking administrative datasets to support approved research projects.

With funding by the New Jersey Department of Health, the iPHD is operated by Rutgers Center for State Health Policy under the direction of a 10-member Governing Board.

Data access will be granted following approval by the iPHD Governing Board.
