Project Tycho: Public Health Data for Science and Policy

Developed at the Graduate School of Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh, Project Tycho provides open access to U.S. surveillance data. The Project Tycho™ database aims are to advance the availability and use of public health data for science and policy. The database contains the entire history of weekly Nationally Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (NNDSS) reports for the United States (level 3 data). A major part of these data have been standardized for online access (level 2 data). Level 1 data have been custom tailored for specific analyses and are the most complete and standardized data, but for a limited number of diseases, locations, and years. Level 2 data include a large number of diseases, locations, and years, but are not complete as standardization is ongoing. Level 3 data have not been standardized and cannot be used for analysis, but are provided upon request. Learn more about Project Tycho in this New York Times article and video.
