FDA, CDC, NIH (NCATS) developing a FHIR based infrastructure that facilitates interactions with the four most prevalent Common Data Models (CDMs) - Sentinel , OMOP, i2b2/ACT and PCORNet - from a single portal. The infrastructure allows investigators the ability to create a universal query that can be run against all four CDMs, a secure transport and aggregation of the cross CDM query results, and the ability to submit the results directly to the FDA as a CDISC STDM file.
