Data Coordinating Centre

• Worked closely with seven CHILD-BRIGHT research teams to support their data management needs in relation to their studies. Three of their studies require oversight from the CHILD-BRIGHT Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). The DSMB meets twice a year to review the safety and effectiveness of trials. For example, the DSMB can ensure the safety of participants in a trial by monitoring whether there are any side effects caused by the treatments being tested.

• Continued our work with the Health Economics service team to support their collection of high-quality data that can be analyzed, disseminated, and implemented into policy and practice. 

• Supported the CHILD-BRIGHT Central Office team with their data management needs related to surveys, annual reporting, and network membership.

Throughout Phase 1 of CHILD-BRIGHT, we supported the network  in setting up research project databases and supported the data quality management and analytics needs of each study. As research projects complete enrollment for their studies, we will be supporting them by providing statistical analysis and helping with manuscript preparation. Our team will work with project teams to finalize their respective study data sets, which will be retained by each lead study site. We will also work with the studies to explore if and how study data can be made available for future potential reuse by making high-level information about the study data available through Borealis: The Canadian Dataverse Repository.
