Author's summary A distributed research network refers to a research network wherein multiple institutions unite for joint research based on common data model wherein the structure and meaning of the data are standardized. Researchers can only send the analysis code to multiple institutions and get the summarized analysis results. Thus, researchers cannot see any of the individual patient data at any time, and no individual patient data can be leaked from the institutions. The Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics research network standardized 928 million unique records or 12% of the world’s population from 41 countries.
