Clear Data. Clear Impact.

2018 Annual Report Letter from the CEO What we do: How we do it: Why We Do It: Create Clarity. Individual Contributions. To Amplify Data’s Impact. Collective Power. In the ever-evolving clinical research landscape, CDISC provides critical clarity to amplify data’s impact. We achieve this through In the ever-evolving and complex clinical CDISC convenes a global community of research CDISC is driven by the belief that the true individual contributions from our tremendous volunteers, members, partner organizations, government regulators, and research landscape, CDISC provides critical experts representing a range of experiences and measure of data is the impact it has, but for staff, who come together across the globe to harness their collective power to drive more meaningful research. Among the clarity. We develop and advance data backgrounds.

To make this possible, in 2018 we invested in a year-long migration to a new invaluable impact for clinical research and online learning system. This easy-to-use system features interactive tools and augments the fine training already available via global health. CDISC Interchanges, public and private events, and webinars. As a fellow student of standards, I encourage you to check into our educational opportunities today.

In order to keep abreast of the changing needs of organizations, researchers, and regulators, the CDISC Board of Directors, under the leadership of Chair Stephen Pyke, an executive at long-time CDISC member company GSK, launched a Blue Ribbon Commission, co-chaired by HIMSS executive and CDISC Board member Joyce Sensmeier, RN, and Dr. Robert Califf, former Commissioner of US FDA. The Blue Ribbon Commissioners served as a strategic think tank for CDISC. The Blue Ribbon Commission was charged with preparing CDISC for the next phase of growth and development with work scheduled for completion in early 2019. This vision, in the form of written insights, will guide CDISC for the next decade.

CDISC continues a period of growth as more organizations are utilizing the CDISC standards and accruing the benefits of standardization of data. Medical and disease focused charitable groups are also taking notice and continue to provide the much needed funding it takes to continue in our efforts. Notably, The VIP Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust has awarded CDISC with a significant Innovation Grant, which will fund standards development for specific diseases as well as improvements that are aimed at speeding up the research process through technological advancements. Community Standards Education Events Membership It is a privilege to lead a small but mighty staff team that sits at the intersection of so much good work. It is clear that our community is in a period of significant change.

Diverse Perspectives 2018 CDISC Board Members Convening a Community Collaboration and inclusivity have always been bedrocks of CDISC’s culture CDISC harnesses the vision and insights of each volunteer, member organization, and partner to define a focused approach for capturing and analyzing – and they remain central to our process today. It’s why we convene a global clinical research data. When the entire research community works together, we have the power to solve issues too complex for any one individual, team, or community of experts from across the research spectrum and facilitate the organization to address alone. development of standards that are open and available to all, enabling data sharing around the world. Thank you to every CDISC volunteer! Your contributions of talent, knowledge, and insight form the core of CDISC’s work and are critical to every success.

Our strength derives from the diverse perspectives of our community. Whether coming from a pharmaceutical organization, academic institution, regulatory agency, non-profit, or beyond, our contributors bring a range of experiences and backgrounds that drive more meaningful clinical research.
