Data Guidelines
The CRCD Database Team has developed a set of Data Guidelines to support researchers in managing their data throughout its lifecycle. These guidelines are structured to address research data management and the setup of REDCap.
Data Request
The CRCD Database Team facilitates the secondary use of data via data requests. Eligible users can request access to the data hosted within the CRCD Database, subject to IRB Approval. To aid in data exploration, an in-house data catalogue is available for users to browse and identify variables of interest.
The CRCD Database Team organizes sharing and training sessions to build research capacity within the CRCD community. The sharing sessions are structured around the five stages of the Data Life-Cycle, while the training sessions cover various aspects of research data management with hands-on activities.
Data Processing - Sharing Session
In this session, we explored the Data Processing stage of the research Data Life-Cycle. Participants learned about key steps such as entry, cleaning, transformation, validation, and reduction, and how these ensure accuracy and quality. Real-life examples and practical tools were shared, along with best practices for efficient data preparation.
Metadata Management - Training Session
In this hands-on workshop, we introduced best practices in metadata documentation to enhance the discoverability, accessibility, and reusability of research data. Participants explored the role and value of metadata, learned when and how to document it effectively, and gained practical experience with project- and data-level metadata templates. They also began developing their own project metadata during the session, building skills to improve data quality and long-term usability.
The CRCD Database Team publishes a regular newsletter, DataBites, to keep you informed about the latest developments and best practices in data management.
