New Self-Service Data Offering: MDClone & the CRI’s ADAMS Center

By December 5, 2025News

Dear CRI Community,

We’re excited to announce that the CRI now offers access to the ADAMS Center, powered by MDClone. MDClone is a robust self-service data environment designed to accelerate discovery and support a wide range of research and operational needs.

Through MDClone, you can explore clinical data in a longitudinal format, run basic statistical functions directly within the tool, and work independently with minimal training. Our team provides dedicated onboarding assistance, and most users are able to get up and running quickly.

MDClone is ideally suited for grant writing, site/study feasibility, cohort identification, QI projects, IRB-approved research, and more.

The CRI will host a seminar in January to introduce this new offering and walk through key features. Additional details are forthcoming. We’re also happy to present to your department, section, or lab meetings if you’d like a more tailored overview.

Onboarding instructions are located here. We look forward to helping you get started.

Warmly,

Julie A. Johnson, PhD, MPH, RN
