• Congratulations to the team of Taona P Haderlein, Claudia Der-Martirosian, Wyatt P Bensken, and Robert Schuff on the recent publication of OMOP common data model transformation: leveraging a nationwide: Community-based health care database to support AI/ML research in JAMIA.
OHDSI UPDATES
A new call for papers is open for a Journal of Biomedical Informatics special issue focusing on agentic AI for generating trustworthy Real-World Evidence (RWE). The issue seeks contributions on multi-agent collaboration and coordinated autonomy across the RWE lifecycle—such as data harmonization and causal analysis—while excluding single-task AI agents. Submissions are accepted from June 15 through November 15, 2026, with publication slated for September 2027.
• The FALCON (Federated Alliance for Large-scale Cancer Observational Network) Research Network is dedicated to advancing real-world oncology evidence through federated health analyses. The network is hosting its 2026 Symposium and Bladder Cancer Studyathon from Sep. 28-Oct. 1 at Dunden in Antwerp, Belgium. This intensive four-day event kicks off with a general symposium followed by a three-day collaborative working session for researchers, clinicians, and data scientists to generate high-quality clinical evidence on the OMOP CDM.
• Take your OMOP CDM from implementation to impact with The OMOP Practitioner, an intensive three-day expert training hosted Sept. 7-9 by Erasmus MC in Rotterdam. This hands-on program moves beyond the basics, offering a maximum of 30 participants deep-dive experience with the Data Quality Dashboard, ATLAS, and real-world study execution.
