CDER's Grant Program for Data Standards Development

CDER launched a grant program in May 2011 to fund projects that develop disease/domain specific therapeutic area data standards. Funding preference has been given to projects that address existing data standards challenges and aim to create standards under the CDISC and HL7 processes.

Information about future funding opportunities will be provided here, when available.

The table below lists the awards that have been made under this program. Results are expected within one to two years of award for each project, unless an extension is granted. Future awards are subject to release of a new announcement, receipt of qualified applications, and availability of funds.

Questions related to the CDER data standards grant program should be sent to CDERdatastandards@fda.hhs.gov.
