Clinical Research Data Sharing Alliance

Driving the Value and Use of Clinical Research Data to
Accelerate Drug Discovery

CRDSA is a multi-stakeholder alliance that serves the clinical data-sharing ecosystem.

Our mission is to accelerate the discovery and delivery of life-saving and life-changing therapies to patients by expanding the research value of secondary use data. Broad access to these data has the power to transform the research process, improve trial design and delivery, and benefit the patients who donate their time and their data as part of the clinical development process.

Sharing Clinical Research Data is a Global Priority

“The G7 nations commit to work together to…promote the efficient processing and sharing of research data as openly as possible and as securely as necessary across the G7 and beyond…”
