PRECISE is partnering with the Open Data Commons for Traumatic Brain Injury (ODC-TBI), an NINDS recommended on-line data repository specifically for sharing pre-clinical TBI data.  Through the ODC-TBI, you can share data with your colleagues in a protected space and publish data to the public. The ODC-TBI complies with the FAIR data principles and the new NIH Data Sharing Policy to ensure that pre-clinical TBI data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. 

​

ODC-TBI supports requirements and recommendations of PRECISE for publishing robust and reproducible TBI research allowing investigators to:

• Map their data to recommended and required PRECISE TBI Common Data Elements (CDEs)

• Link detailed experimental protocols to their datasets

• Link data to experimental TBI models through the PRECISE Model Catalog

• Use QC and analytics tools to improve data quality and visualize results (try them out in our ODC-TBI Tools Sandbox).

​

PRECISE and ODC-TBI support the new NIH data sharing policy.  We’ve assembled some materials that can be used to prepare your proposals using ODC-TBI and PRECISE:

• A sample data management and sharing plan with helpful hints and language that can be used to meet NIH proposal submission requirements 

​​

• Materials to help understand and estimate costs associated with data management and sharing.  Currently there is no cost to publish your data in ODC-TBI but data management and sharing do require effort and resources on your part and you can request funds for these activities  in your NIH proposal.
