[Editor's note added October 31, 2023:  A recording of the webinar is available.]

Through live demonstrations and hands-on exercises, this course will introduce you to common data elements (CDEs) and the NIH Common Data Element Repository (CDE-R). The course begins with an in-depth introduction to what CDEs are and examples of how researchers are already using them. Then, you'll see how to search the repository and practice searching on your own. Subject matter experts 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.
