CRDC offers support to the research community through user forums, training events, tutorials, and virtual office hours.
Cloud Resources
NCI Cloud Resources make data accessible in a secure environment. Researchers can access data from NCI-funded programs, upload their own data for comparative analysis, and collaborate with colleagues in a secure data environment. Find out more about these benefits by accessing learning materials and joining virtual office hours.
Data Commons
The CRDC includes several Data Commons that store, manage, and make data searchable and accessible for analysis. Researchers can work directly with each Data Commons or can build a data manifest for use within a CRDC cloud environment. Learn more about how to get started with each CRDC Data Commons below.
Core Services
CRDC data are organized, submitted, securely stored, and made searchable and accessible based on common standards, terms, and processes. This data ecosystem is supported by core services that include common standards and a central data submission workflow to ensure CRDC data meet NIH’s FAIR data principles, that data are – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.
