Save Our Sisyphus Challenge
The OHDSI mission is to improve health by empowering a community to collaboratively generate the evidence that promotes better health decisions and better care. The 2023 Save Our Sisyphus (SOS) Challenge will try to fulfill that mission, but not through one study at a time.
We will be collaborating simultaneously on four studies, each of which will be designed, implemented, executed and disseminated by members of the OHDSI global community.
As you can see on the right, there will be two weekly tutorials, taught by different members of the community, and featuring two of the four studies
that were voted on by the community. Please join either or both each week to learn every step of executing a network study. The earlier session will take place during the weekly global community call, while the later will take place at 7 pm ET. Weekly call invites will go out for both, or you can access either meeting using the links below.
Weekly Tutorial Links
Please remember that each week, there are two seminars focused on the same aspect of running a network study, but featuring different SOS Challenge studies. We want to make sure that, regardless of your location, there is a tutorial that is convenient for all hours. All tutorials will also be recorded and posted below.
Office Hours
There will be weekly office hours, corresponding with the topic of the weekly tutorials. Office hours are determined by the availability of each week’s tutorial lead. When the next set of office hours are determined, the time and meeting link will be posted to the right.

SOS Challenge Studies
The SOS Challenge was introduced in January 2023, and community members submitted 35 different studies that could be run during the challenge. Four were selected from that group, two of which will be done live during the weekly tutorials, and two that will be done asynchronously. You can learn more about each of the four studies below, and each of the pertinent links (GitHub repo, protocol, Teams channel, etc.) will be linked in the proper section.
