The BACPAC Data Portal is a secure cloud-based computing infrastructure for researchers to conduct analysis on various types of data collected by or acquired for the Back Pain Consortium (BACPAC) Research Program. This infrastructure serves as a central repository for data from BACPAC projects and data acquired from non-BACPAC researchers. In addition to serving as a repository, the Data Portal provides computing resources, workspaces for collaboration and analyses, storage of data and algorithms hosted on the portal, and documentation and procedures for using the portal.
