The project granted Palantir access to sensitive health information in the name of identifying "high-priority populations at highest risk of infection."[\[5:1\]](#fn5) Tiberius uses the same software that manages HHS Protect for the [United States Department of Health and Human Services](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/United-States-Department-of-Health-and-Human-Services), which gathers COVID-19-related information from "more than 225 data sets, including demographic statistics, community-based tests, and a wide range of state-provided data."[\[6\]](#fn6) In July 2020, Elizabeth Warren and several Democrat and Republican colleagues warned that Palantir’s massive stores of data “could be used by other federal agencies in unexpected, unregulated, and potentially harmful ways, such as in the law and immigration enforcement context.”[\[7\]](#fn7)[\[8\]](#fn8) On October 4, 2021, Palantir announced that the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) had awarded the company a contract to continue its existing data services for the [National COVID Cohort Collaborative](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/National-COVID-Cohort-Collaborative). NCATS also awarded a second contract to continue providing software for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the United States President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), at a total value of $60 million.[\[9\]](#fn9) In September 2025, *The Times* revealed plans for the British Ministry of Defence to sign a £750 million deal to further integrate Palantir's artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities into the British Armed Forces, allowing "British forces to identify battlefield targets and improve readiness for war." Specifically, Palantir would "collate information from decades-old databases across the entire service, including medical records, payroll and completed training documents, and identify recruitment gaps and whether someone is fit for deployment."[\[10\]](#fn10) ## Organization Palantir is a member organization of: - Business Council[\[11\]](#fn11) - [Council on Foreign Relations](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Council-on-Foreign-Relations) (CFR)[\[12\]](#fn12) - [COVID-19 Healthcare Coalition](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/COVID-19-Healthcare-Coalition)[\[13\]](#fn13) - [Edison Electric Institute](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Edison-Electric-Institute)[\[14\]](#fn14) - U.S.-U.A.E.
