Description:
RADx-UP is a part of RADx, the overall National Institutes of Health (NIH) initiative to help speed innovation in the development and implementation of COVID-19 testing. In order to ensure consistency in how RADx-UP projects collect data for the RADx Data Hub and simplify the analysis of that data, the NIH defined a set of Common Data Elements (CDEs). The NIH CDEs provide a standard set of study questions that RADx-UP projects are required to use in their COVID-19 testing studies. The RADx-UP Coordination and Data Collection Center (CDCC) also provided an Informed Consent Form (ICF) data sharing language template to help standardize the consent process. The consistent use of the CDEs and ICF data sharing language by RADx-UP projects will allow the RADx-UP consortium to aggregate data from across all the populations and communities that projects study and engage. In addition, the CDCC will be able to deposit that collected data with the RADx Data Hub, leading to rapid and increased learning about this pandemic.
