Data Harmonization

When combined across datasets, biomedical and psychosocial common data elements, measures, and terminology can improve our collective understanding of COVID-19.

Led by NICHD and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the Trans-NIH COVID Workgroup on Pregnant & Lactating Women and Children is coordinating data and terminology harmonization efforts related to its populations of interest, including pregnant and lactating women, newborns, and children. Learn more about the workgroup’s data harmonization activities.

NIH is also actively compiling tools and measures to harmonize data collection, analyses, and comparison. Researchers may want to visit the NIH Repository of COVID-Related Research Tools to learn more.
