Common Data Elements  
The Common Data Elements (CDEs) have been compiled in a standard format, called the CDEs Data Dictionary (DD). The DD can be utilized by investigators, study coordinators and data managers for data collection and management purposes, as the DD provides data element definitions, response categories, and item labels, as well as other variable components. The CDEs forms provide a sample template of how the elements can be represented on study forms.

Common Forms  
The common forms represent case report forms (CRFs) frequently associated with conducting clinical studies across the NINDS disease areas. The common forms have been designed to incorporate the data structure associated with the Common Data Elements (CDEs). The forms are templates for data collection, and Principal Investigators are encouraged to customize the CRFs in order to incorporate study specific data fields.

Data Archiving  
The NIH expects and supports the timely release and sharing of final research data from NIH-supported studies for use by other researchers to expedite the translation of research results into knowledge, products and procedures to improve human health. (See NIH Statement on Data Sharing)

In order to ensure the proper storage and availability of completed National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) studies, the NINDS supports several data archiving activities. As studies are completed and their data become available, this site will aid investigators by providing guidance on which materials to retain for data sharing purposes.
