Dr. Vavilala has been appointed to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Common Data Elements (CDEs) International Traumatic Brain Injury Steering Committee (iTBI SC) for the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) project.
To reduce study, start time and accelerate data sharing in neuroscience, the NINDS continues to spearhead its CDE Project. Through this project and by continuing to develop data standards for clinical research, the NINDS TBI CDEs will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical research studies and clinical treatment, increase data quality, facilitate data sharing, and help educate new clinical investigators.
NINDS created the iTBI SC to ensure that the TBI CDEs remain a current and useful tool for investigators and their research teams.
