In 2022, CRDSA released the Data Sharing Technology Assessment Framework to help data contributors, platform owners, and researchers determine the requirements and use cases important to their organization. The Assessment Framework is now publicly available as an R Shiny app for easier use, along with an accompanying introduction and guide.
This Data Sharing Assessment App translates the principles in CRDSA’s Standard for Sharing Clinical Study Data into a short, structured instrument that can be applied consistently across data sharing use cases. The assessment app is a 15-question scored rubric designed to objectively measure the completeness and quality of a proposed data sharing plan, commitment, or data contribution.
CRDSA’s Technology and Innovation Work Group has developed a data-sharing technology assessment framework to support stakeholders in their evaluation of technologies and approaches that advance their data-sharing initiatives, whether they are interested in technologies for external data sharing or support an organization’s internal data reuse. The framework is designed to assist stakeholders in determining the requirements and use cases important to their organization. The resulting assessment scores can be used to compare how well different technology approaches or project scopes meet organizational objectives.
