Common Data Elements (CDEs)

Our Mission:

Translation of preclinical findings to clinical practice remains a great challenge, particularly in neuroscience.  There are many translational challenges including differences in the pathophysiology between clinical conditions and preclinical models; inconsistency in defining and reporting key variables, and a lack of reproducibility. The use of Common Data Elements  (CDEs) can facilitate a well-defined lexicon for describing and reporting on how preclinical data are collected, with the goal of enhancing rigor, reproducibility and transparency Ultimately, we hypothesize that use of CDEs will lead to improved translation.

What is a Common Data Element?

 

 

 

 

 

​

​

  • A Common Data Element (CDE) is a logical unit of data pertaining to one type of information, with specific and clear descriptors

  • Common Data Elements are content standards that enable investigators to systematically collect, analyze, and share data across the research community

  • CDE use facilitates research by improving data collection, data analysis, data sharing, and ease of use in data repositories 

​​

Community input and feedback is integral to development of usable CDEs.
