NUM 3.0: The third funding period (July 2025 - July 2030)
AKTIN@NUM
- Improving healthcare research in German Emergeny Rooms (ERs) by establishing a national emergency admission register (AKTIN).
- Maintaining the AKTIN register
- Extension to a nationwide infrastructure for real-time healthcare research in ERs.
- Establishment of standardised, structured documentation procedures in ERs.
Local Principal Investigators (PIs):
NUM-DIZ: NUM Data Integration Centres
- The main goal is to establish a data integration centre (DIZ) in Oldenburg, in order to make the routine data available and accessible for (medical) research.
- Main tasks of the DIZ: Data transfer from various data-providing (hospital) systems, consolidation and processing of these data and the assurance of data quality.
- As part of a sustainable infrastructure, the DIZ can make an important contribution to FAIR data management. FAIR in this case means Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.
Local PIs:
NUM SN: NUM Study Network
- Establishment of an effective system for collaboration in the field of clinical and clinical-epidemiological studies
- Establishment of organizational and structural measures and frameworks to support clinical researchers in reducing administrative and operational burdens.
- The goal is to initiate more studies in a shorter period, recruit more patients for studies in a reliable timeframe, and improve the quality of data and biosample collection

Local Principal Investigators (PIs):
SNID: Specialist Network for Infections
- Support for Clinical and Clinical-Epidemiological Studies in the Field of Infection Medicine and Sustainable Strengthening of the German Research Landscape
- This is the first specialized network within the NUM Study Network (NUM SN).
- University institutions, research consortia, and researchers collaborate closely in the Infection Medicine network, standardizing and automating study-relevant processes.
- The establishment of a central platform for automated feasibility analyses and patient screening is underway.
- The goals are the rapid and effective implementation of studies and the provision of high-quality data and biosamples for research projects. This aims to create scientifically grounded decision-making foundations for medical care and to enable new therapeutic approaches.

NUM study network
- Establishment of an effective system of cooperation in the field of clinical and clinical-epidemiological studies
- Establishment of organisational and structural measures and structures to support clinical researchers for less administrative and operational effort
- The aim is to initiate more studies in less time, recruit more patients for studies in a reliable period of time and improve the quality of data and biosample collection
Further information on the project can be found here.
Persons involved:
RACOON: The nation-wide RAdiological COOperative Network
- Establishment of a nationwide infrastructure for collecting radiological data from Covid-19 cases.
- Provision of real-time assessed and analysed data from Covid 19 pneumonia cases.
- Development of an AI for the analysis of image data.
Local PIs:
CollPan: Health-related collateral damage of Covid-19 pandemic
- The overarching goals are to research the collateral health effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and to identify important factors that trigger these effects
- This "surveillance infrastructure" is intended to protect vulnerable groups in particular from such collateral health effects in the future
- In order to achieve these goals, the following structures will be established and developed within this project:
1. A national platform for research into such collateral damage
2. A sustainable interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research network within the NUM - In Oldenburg, collateral damage to pre-existing mental illnesses and cancers in the ENT area will be investigated and characterized in more detail
Local PIs:
NAPKON V2.0: National Pandemic Cohort Network
- Continuation of the NAPKON project: Collection of high-quality clinical phenotyping data, including biospecimens and image data.
- Focus changed to the inclusion of control patients, paediatric patients and controls of patients with vaccine breakthroughs.
- Inclusion of over 50 patients at all three participating Oldenburg hospitals.
Local PIs:
PREPARED: PREparedness and PAndemic REsponse in Germany
- The main objective of PREPARED is to develop a comprehensive, collaborative, adaptable and sustainable infrastructure for pandemic management and preparedness within the NUM.
- The goal is to ensure patient healthcare in times of crisis and to enable and ensure coordinated, rapid and evidence-based responses to public health threats.
Local PIs:
RACOON Combine
- The main goal is to develop and implement a pipeline for COVID-specific and prognostic imaging biomarker extraction to enable the phenotyping of the disease and the patient him/herself.
- The results will help to improve patient management and the understanding of different Covid-19 disease patterns and the organ-organ crosstalk specific to the virus.
More information about the project can be found here.
Local PIs:
UTN Telemedicine Network
- The aim of the project is to create a university telemedicine network (UTN) for high-frequency, standardized, electronic data acquisition and integration for COVID-19 research
- To this end, a common, interoperable, standardized and secure telemedicine infrastructure is to be created that implements and unites the heterogeneous telemedicine data infrastructures and networks that have prevailed to date
Local PI:
IMMUNEBRIDGE
- Establishment of a Germany-wide, population-based panel to test the population’s immunity to SARS-CoV2 through vaccination and infection.
- This will provide prospective and retrospective epidemiological estimates for the expected wave of disease in autumn and winter 2022.
- Oldenburg acts as the central laboratory in this national project
Local PI:
NU(M)KRAINE
- Main focus of this project is to characterize the vaccination status of Ukrainian refugees.
- The data collected in this context should advance the identification of care needs in the group of war refugees to formulate appropriate recommendations.
- Oldenburg functions as the central laboratory in this national project.
