Upcoming Live Training: Standardize Your Research with the NIH Common Data Element Repository

Upcoming Live Training: Standardize Your Research with the NIH Common Data Element Repository. NLM Tech Bull. 2024 Nov-Dec;(461):b5.

[Editor's note added January 07, 2025:  A recording of the webinar is available.]

Common data elements (CDEs) are standardized, precisely defined questions paired with a specific set of allowable responses, used systematically across different sites, studies, or clinical trials to ensure consistent data collection. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Common Data Element Repository (CDE-R) provides access to CDEs that have been recommended or required by NIH Institutes and Centers for use in research and for other purposes.

Through live demonstrations and hands-on exercises, this course will introduce you to CDEs and the NIH CDE-R.

The course begins with an in-depth introduction to CDEs and examples of how researchers are already using them. Then, you'll see how to search the repository and practice searching on your own. CDE-R staff will be in attendance to answer your questions.

Consider attending this course if you:

• Want to standardize the data you collect so it can be easily shared with colleagues and other researchers.
• Have been awarded a grant that requires the use of CDEs.
• Have heard that CDEs can be part of a compliant data management and sharing plan.
• Assist researchers with the research data management lifecycle.
