Committee Data Inventory
Chair: Martijn Bours
Members: Dounya Schoormans & Femke Jansen
The objective of the Data inventory Committee is to improve collaboration and data sharing among researchers in psychosocial oncology. For that purpose, the committee aims to:
1) Raise awareness about data sharing, amongst others by presenting showcases on potential benefits of data sharing
2) Provide insight into available data from psychosocial oncology research teams/projects in the Netherlands via an easily accessible and searchable data inventory.
The data inventory of research projects contains details on:
- Study design (e.g., longitudinal, intervention, etc.)
- Population (e.g., cancer type and whether a healthy norm population is involved, gender, age)
- Measurement types (e.g., questionnaires, biomarkers, psychological tasks, interventions)
- Metadata.
Please note that this is not a repository for storing or accessing data. Instead, it will help researchers discover what data are available and who to contact, in order to stimulate collaboration.
By providing access for researchers to freely explore available data and samples, the committee strives to contribute to enhanced data sharing and stronger collaborations within the field of psychosocial oncology.
