NINDS invites you to attend the 6th webinar in the NINDS Preclinical CDE and Data Science Webinar Series. Please join investigators from the Translational Outcomes Project in Neurotrauma (TOP-NT) Consortium for a discussion on how multicenter implementation of Common Data Elements (CDEs), harmonized protocols, and shared data infrastructure can strengthen rigor and reproducibility in preclinical TBI research. Speakers will discuss lessons learned from coordinating imaging, biomarker, histopathology, and outcomes workflows across participating research sites, including approaches for prospective harmonization, cross-site data comparability, and development of accessible multimodal datasets to support translational neurotrauma research.
Distinguished Speaker Panel:
- Patrick Frost Bellgowan, PhD — Acting Associate Director, Division of Neuroscience, NINDS/NIH
- Ina B. Wanner, PhD — Translational Neuroscientist, UCLA Brain Injury Research Center
- Alexandru Korotcov, PhD — Assistant Professor and Senior MRI Scientist, Uniformed Services University and Henry M. Jackson Foundation
- Esmeralda Mendoza, MPH — Biostatistician, UCSF Department of Neurological Surgery
Webinars are open to the public. Please feel free to share this invitation with colleagues who may be interested in preclinical or clinical data standards, data harmonization, or CDE development and implementation.
If you have any questions or need reasonable accommodations to participate in this event, please contact Gabe Gonzales at Gabe.Gonzales@nih.gov. Please submit accommodation requests as early as possible to allow sufficient time for coordination.
