Minimum CDEs Required by NIH

This resource describes the minimum common data elements (CDEs) required for awardees collecting prospective human subjects data. A minimum set of CDEs has been released by NIH for the RADx program. All RADx-rad projects that prospectively collect human participants data are required to collect and use those CDEs in their studies. DCC understands the minimum…

Minimum CDE Waiver Template

A template for the Minimum CDE Waiver is provided here.   It is recommended that a completed waiver request be submitted by the PI to the NIH Program Officer (PO) for approval with a copy to Dr. Kirk Roberts (kirk.roberts@uth.tmc.edu).

Guidance for Use of Common Data Elements (CDEs)

To ensure data collected at RADx-rad are compliant with the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles, NIH recommends using Common Data Elements (CDEs) for data collection and data standardization. The consistent use of CDEs within the RADx program will greatly increase the interoperability and reusability of collected data, thus enabling efficient data integration and data…

Data flow for RADx-rad awardees

The RADx Data Hub is the ultimate destination of RADx-rad data. It is managed by the NIH. The RADx-rad DCC will ensure that data submitted to the hub will comply with standards agreed upon by the RADx program at NIH. The DCC will work with awardees to apply Common Data Elements (CDEs), generate participant RADx-IDs…
