The interagency U. S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) launched a new online tool designed to accelerate research relating to climate change and human health - the Metadata Access Tool for Climate and Health, or “MATCH. ” This publicly accessible, online tool for researchers offers centralized access to metadata summary information that puts each dataset into context on thousands of government-held datasets related to health, the environment, and climate-science. MATCH is one of a growing number of tools, driven by open data, that are being made available by the Obama Administration, in this case, at the important intersection of climate and human health.
