About this Class

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) promotes the use of Common Data Elements (CDEs) to standardize data collection, sharing, and interoperability in health and disease research. In line with Congressional Appropriations language, the Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) is expanding these efforts by collaborating with research stakeholders to enhance and broaden the development and adoption of CDEs for various diseases areas, including but not limited to autoimmune and immune-mediated conditions. This workshop aims to bring together expert panels, researchers, professional societies, and patient organizations to explore the value, resources, and applications of CDEs.

Our speakers will cover a range of pertinent topics, including: the value of CDEs, current NIH resources for CDEs, technical implementation aspects and approaches to enhancing interoperability, overcoming barriers in CDE adoption in community research, and use cases for preparing and applying CDEs to intelligent technologies. 

This is a hybrid workshop. Virtual participation is available. For those attending via webinar, the link will be distributed via email prior to the date of the event.
