Making research data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) starts well before data collection. Designing studies with common data elements (CDEs) can enable data sharing and reuse. Librarians and other information professionals have an important role in educating and assisting researchers in the use of CDEs. Whether you are a research data librarian or support research in other ways, this 1-hour, self-paced course from the National Library of Medicine will show you how to use CDEs to support FAIR data.

This tutorial provides 1 CE toward the Medical Library Association (MLA) Data Services Specialization, Basic Level.

The Common Data Elements: Standardizing Data Collection tutorial is now available.

For MLA CE, register to take the tutorial in Moodle.
