GRAM opens global AMR data repository to researchers


The Global Research on Antimicrobial Resistance (GRAM) Project is inviting researchers worldwide to access and utilise its extensive antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data repository, hosted by the Infectious Diseases Data Observatory (IDDO).

Since its launch last year, the repository hosted by the IDDO has amassed data from nearly 70 countries and 250,000 patients, including 38 datasets from 24 GRAM Project collaborators.

The GRAM project is a partnership between the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation and the University of Oxford, funded by the UK Department of Health and Social Care’s Fleming Fund and Wellcome. GRAM has used repository data last year to provide the most comprehensive clinical analysis of bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) trends over time and forecast the future burden of AMR deaths from now until 2050.

Find out more about how to access and how to contribute AMR data to the repository here. The data is available at no charge to researchers.

To learn more about AMR data in the repository, visit the AMR data repository pages on the IDDO website.

For further information about contributing data to the repository, view the ‘Work with GRAM’ pages on the IDDO website.

The GRAM project led by Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation and the University of Oxford and funded by the UK Department of Health and Social Care’s Fleming Fund and Wellcome, released the latest GRAM paper, published in The Lancet.

In 2017, the researchers of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) and the University of Oxford developed a partnership to establish the human cost (burden) of AMR. This partnership gave birth to the Global Research on Antimicrobial Resistance (GRAM) project. Fast forward four years, 434 million individual records and 12,582 study-location-years' worth of data, and GRAM has become a household name for anyone in the industry.
