Data Readiness Checklist

A high-value dataset is created as cellular profiles are combined with clinical observations, clinical images, and other phenotype data generated by the RMIP investigators. To maximize the impact and value of these studies, data from RMIP projects will be made available to the scientific community on BDC. 


This list is intended to provide RMIP Principal Investigators (PIs) with a clear understanding of the tasks required, along with an estimated level of effort.


Phase 1 – Data Management

[ ] Identify the raw data that will be shared for each data type identified in the approved project plan.

[ ] Ensure that all protected health information (PHI) and personal identifiable information (PII) has been removed from the data.

[ ] All files are named with the recommended file prefix. 

[ ] A data dictionary describing the file contents is produced for each file type provided. Investigators can supply the data dictionary as a separate worksheet in the Excel template.

Phase 2 - Uploading Data to BDC

[ ] Create a BDC account and provide the DMC the username for the account. 

[ ] Upload raw data to the appropriate directory on the study’s BDC project. 

[ ] Apply recommended tags to all uploaded files.

Phase 3 – Data Standards and Harmonization

[ ] Transform raw data to the recommended harmonized format using local resources or apps and workflows available on BDC. 

[ ] Apply recommended data standards and formats for scientific data. 

[ ] Report demographics, adverse events, and clinical outcomes in recommended format. 

[ ] Identify and apply relevant Common Data Elements for reporting phenotypic data. 

[ ] Define criteria for a successful study/trial outcome and report an indicator for each study participant.

Phase 4 - Supporting Documentation

[ ] Upload any relevant supporting documents available to the BDC project.
