Background / Context
Thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to speak with us. As you know, leveraging data as effectively
and efficiently as possible is a key part of the NIH’s data strategy. To that end, NLM is undertaking a project to
better understand the user needs of CDEs and the NIH CDE Repository and determine what changes need to be
made to increase awareness and usage of CDEs.
Objectives of today’s discussion:
• Develop an understanding of your current thoughts on CDEs and the NIH CDE Repository
• Discuss your thoughts and preferences on the future direction of CDEs and the NIH CDE Repository
Before we dive into CDEs, we’d like to start with a little bit of your background:
