The COVID-19 crisis requires researchers to join forces worldwide to find a cure and a vaccine. Sharing research data is a critical step in this global cooperation effort. In this context, the European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network (ECRIN) established a COVID-19 Taskforce with its national partners and launched the Clinical Research Metadata Repository, which includes COVID-19 data.
The Clinical Research Metadata Repository allows the discovery of clinical studies and related data objects, for example protocols, information sheets and consent forms, data management plans, statistical analysis plans, case report forms, results, publications, and descriptive metadata. It is freely available for all scientific researchers working in clinical research, and especially for those working on COVID-19. The system is updated regularly by collecting data from the most important sources of information worldwide, from New Zealand to the Netherlands and from Japan to Lebanon. The current Clinical Research Metadata Repository is the first beta release of the platform; ECRIN updates the content of the platform regularly, and continues working on newer releases.
Furthermore, ECRIN established a COVID-19 Taskforce to manage and deploy tools and services to help the scientific research on COVID-19.
