The Missing Link: How CDEs Bridge Best Practices, Neurotrauma Data Repositories and AI

March 18, 2026 | 2:00 - 3:00 PM
ET

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) invites you to the third webinar in the Preclinical Common Data Elements (CDE)/Data Standards Webinar Series.

Experts in neurotrauma data science will discuss how specialist data repositories support the implementation and use of CDEs in neurotrauma research. They will highlight new opportunities enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) when used in conjunction with CDEs and curated repositories to help manage complex datasets, implement data standards, and promote data reuse. The webinar will conclude with discussion of practical strategies and emerging tools for integrating CDEs, repositories, and AI to advance rigorous, reusable neurotrauma research. This series is open to preclinical and clinical researchers, data scientists, and others interested in preclinical CDEs and data standards.
