<p class="admonition-title">Registering Your Study</p> <p>Registering your study is a simple, three-step process:</p> <ol> <li>Request access to register your study.</li> <li>Create a CEDAR account, if you do not already have one.</li> <li>Register your study on the HEAL Data Platform. </li> </ol> <p>After completing registration, the next step will be completing your metadata form in CEDAR. </p> <p><p align="center"><a class="md-button" href="requesting-access/">How to request access</a></p></p> </div> <h2 id="overview">Overview<a class="headerlink" href="#overview" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <p>The HEAL Data Platform provides a single interface where users can browse and search for all HEAL-funded studies as well as other HEAL-relevant datasets. In this way, the Platform plays a fundamental role in making HEAL data <em>findable</em> as part of adhering to the FAIR data principles (i.e., data should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable).</p> <p>To achieve this goal, the platform aggregates metadata about each study from multiple sources. One of these is <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov">NIH RePORTER</a> from which basic information about all HEAL-funded studies is automatically obtained. However, there are three additional sources of metadata which the Platform can utilize:</p> <ul> <li>Information entered into the <a href="http://cedar.metadatacenter.org/">Center for Expanded Data Annotation and Retrieval (CEDAR) Workbench</a>, an online platform for creating and managing metadata according to the FAIR principles</li> <li>Information from <a href="https://www.clinicaltrials.gov">ClinicalTrials.gov</a> for those clinical studies registered there</li> <li>Information from the data repository to which the study is submitting its data</li> </ul> <p>To permit the Platform to pull information from these sources, a study must be <em>registered</em>. Registration is the process of linking a study to one or more of the metadata/data sources listed above. This process can be performed by the Principal Investigator or another member of the research team.</p> <div class="admonition question"> <p class="admonition-title">What if I'm not ready to submit data yet?</p> <p>You may register your study at any time, even if you are not yet ready to submit data to a repository. Registering your study increases its visibility on the Platform and allows the Platform and data repository to anticipate and plan for your subsequent data submission.</p> </div>  </article> </div> </div> </main> <footer class="md-footer"> <nav class="md-footer__inner md-grid" aria-label="Footer" > <a href="../logging-in/" class="md-footer__link md-footer__link--prev" aria-label="Previous: Logging In" rel="prev"> <div class="md-footer__button md-icon"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M20 11v2H8l5.5 5.5-1.42 1.42L4.16 12l7.92-7.92L13.5 5.5 8 11h12Z"/></svg> </div> <div class="md-footer__title"> <div class="md-ellipsis"> <span class="md-footer__direction"> Previous </span> Logging In </div> </div> </a> <a href="requesting-access/" class="md-footer__link md-footer__link--next" aria-label="Next: Requesting Access" rel="next"> <div class="md-footer__title"> <div class="md-ellipsis"> <span class="md-footer__direction"> Next </span> Requesting Access </div> </div> <div class="md-footer__button md-icon"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M4 11v2h12l-5.5 5.5 1.42 1.42L19.84 12l-7.92-7.92L10.5 5.5 16 11H4Z"/></svg> </div> </a> </nav> <div class="md-footer-meta md-typeset"> <div class="md-footer-meta__inner md-grid"> <div class="md-copyright"> Made with <a href="https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Material for MkDocs </a> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </div> <div class="md-dialog" data-md-component="dialog"> <div class="md-dialog__inner md-typeset"></div> </div> <script id="__config" type="application/json">{"base": "..", "features": ["navigation.indexes", "navigation.indexes", "navigation.tracking"], "search": "../assets/javascripts/workers/search.5bf1dace.min.js", "translations": {"clipboard.copied": "Copied to clipboard", "clipboard.copy": "Copy to clipboard", "search.config.lang": "en", "search.config.pipeline": "trimmer, stopWordFilter", "search.config.separator": "[\\s\\-]+", "search.placeholder": "Search", "search.result.more.one": "1 more on this page", "search.result.more.other": "# more on this page", "search.result.none": "No matching documents", "search.result.one": "1 matching document", "search.result.other": "# matching documents", "search.result.placeholder": "Type to start searching", "search.result.term.missing": "Missing", "select.version.title": "Select version"}}</script> <script src="../assets/javascripts/bundle.37e9125f.min.js"></script> </body> </html>
