Goals of the workshop

• Convene the NIH community interested in Common Data Elements (CDEs) to support NIH-wide understanding of current CDE activities and opportunities.

• Identify current barriers/challenges for the adoption and use of CDEs by NIH-funded researchers, both intramural and extramural.

• Identify possible ways to modify development, implementation, and use of CDEs to increase adoption and value to research.

• Identify incentives and opportunities for involvement of relevant communities in CDE development, harmonization, use, and re-use.

• Develop evaluation plans for CDEs to test their assumed utility.

The workshop will feature CDE related Birds-of-a-Feature (BOF) sessions on topics including CDE reuse and harmonization, Big Data challenge, interoperability, operationalizing CDEs, and infrastructure and tooling. The on-site participation will be NIH ICs only, however the day includes two public sessions via webCast: the morning presentations and the late afternoon BOF report-outs and discussion.
