Use real-world data to build real-world research skills. Secondary data is a powerful tool for education and methods development.

How can secondary data be used in education and methods development? Existing clinical trials data can be used for: Teaching statistical and research methods using real-world datasets Developing and testing new statistical models Informing machine learning and AI approaches

Dr Kristy Robledo reused well-known datasets to test and demonstrate a new statistical method. By applying secondary data, her team proved the method was flexible, reliable and useful across different scenarios. “For researchers to be able to use our new methods, they need to see that it works on real data, not just simulated data!” – Dr Kristy Robledo
