A collection resulting from the ongoing effort, in response to COVID-19 data, developed by the NIH’s Scientific Data Council, NIH CDE Task Force, and CDE Governance Committee, for indicating NIH endorsement of CDEs that meet meaningful criteria, are available through a common discovery platform (such as the NIH CDE Repository), and avoid duplicating functions of resources that already exist.
Collections of elements or “classifications,” (as opposed to single field definitions) required by the NIH in the RADx Initiative, including Race, Ethnicity, Sex, Age, Education, Domicile, Employment, Insurance Status, Disability Status, Medical History, Symptoms, and Health Status, presented to study participants as survey questions with a discreet set of allowable responses. While typically a CDE is defined as a single field definition, NIH RADx-Required CDEs are collections of field definitions addressing a single topic.
