Research Datasets

Health Insurance Datasets

The Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (IHPI) has more than 20 terabytes of data, from more than 113 million Americans, for researchers to study how healthcare works and how to make it better. IHPI’s data is provided primarily by large insurance companies in the form of administrative claims. These are proprietary datasets that cover both the commercial and private payer insurance sectors, and also give researchers a longitudinal accounting of millions of US patient’s healthcare utilization patterns.

ITS Teaching & Learning datasets contain student learning data from our Canvas Learning Management System as well as student demographic data from the U-M Student Information System.

Unizin Data Warehouse Dataset

The UDW dataset is comprised of teaching and learning data created through the use of the Canvas LMS by U-M  faculty, staff, and students from 2014 until the present.  Researchers can use this data to help answer questions on student learning and learning outcomes.  Administrators can use the data to track program outcomes. For teaching faculty, this data is useful in providing insights into teaching methodologies and instructional resource utilization.
