Objective: To support the development of tools to optimize the quality and use of research data.

Examples of projects:

• Develop a catalog documenting the specifications and variables collected by the studies associated with the network. This catalog will identify existing data that can be used to answer different research questions.
• Propose a list of tools (questionnaires, measures, etc.) recommended for data collection by the new network studies. These tools will increase the potential for data sharing and co-analysis between studies.
• Provide network researchers with tools (best practice guide, software, etc.) to facilitate data collection, management, and sharing.
