NIH webinar Global Perspectives on Standards and Common Data Elements Used in Patients Data and Biospecimens Collection
January 25, 2018 @ 10:00 - 13:00
FreeSponsored by the NIH Data Science Special Interest Group
The NIH Data Science Special Interest Group is proud to welcome the new year of 2018 and host a session* (broadcast via webinar, see information below) about major initiatives around the world on the need for, challenges around, and implementation of standards in clinical data collections for research. The session will start with demonstrating the need for standards, follow up with some use cases and an overview of the NIH CDEs repository, and end with a question-and-answer discussion with attendees. We hope that the session will continue to increase the awareness of the importance of using standards for biomedical research and enhance collaboration and data sharing. Registrants will be able to send questions before and during the session.
