Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Not applicable to patient participation; this grant focuses on data standardization and AI tooling across research studies.
✕Less likely to help
Patients are not directly recruited for this project, and there is no direct patient intervention.
What this research studies
This project aims to create a library of standardized data elements and metrics that can be applied across studies. It uses AI to translate existing study data into consistent templates, reducing manual work. The work focuses on documenting not just data items but also how they are derived, to enable reliable reuse of data from multiple studies. The goal is to speed up data sharing and improve comparability across research efforts. The effort builds on the ACTWONDER2S program and existing CP2CT network experiences at Moffitt Cancer Center.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, researchers could share and reuse data more easily, speeding discoveries and enabling better cross-study comparisons.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work has shown that standardized data elements improve data sharing and reusability in research.
