Data management

Data Management Core SUMMARY The Data Management Core aims to provide comprehensive data management and statistical support for the ICEMR program, establishing a centralized data management system for laboratory and field activities to collect and archive data and specimens from all study sites. It will collaborate with investigators and field leaders on

study design, protocol development, training, and biostatistical analyses while maintaining rigorous standard operating procedures and data quality assurance processes to ensure uniformity, timely reporting, and secure data and specimen archiving. The Core has been critical to the success of the existing Southeast Asia ICEMR

program, and this proposal will leverage shared resources and qualified personnel to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Benefiting from the ongoing ICEMR, our investigators have established data management SOPs. The proposed ICEMR Data Management Systems (DMS) will be based on these SOPs, with additional hardware

and software acquisition. It will integrate with the existing infrastructure of partner institutions, maximizing the scientific potential of data and proliferating the FAIR-sharing principle throughout the malaria research community. The specific aims are: (1) developing a centralized and standardized data acquisition and

management system through an electronic data capture framework for all ICEMR activities; (2) providing biostatistical support and training for conducting rigorous biostatistical analyses that address research questions across projects.
