How do I login to the portal?
Many functions of the portal require users to login to access more detailed information. Much of this information is secured and made only available to the user, collaborative group or EDRN community depending on the EDRN data sharing policies. The EDRN DMCC provides each user a secure username and password. This should be used to login to the portal at by clicking or tapping "Log In" (upper right).

If you do not have your username or password, please contact the Informatics Center for assistance.

What are the EDRN data sharing policies?

The data sharing policies of EDRN are set by the EDRN Informatics and Data Sharing Subcommittee. These policies are approved by the EDRN Steering Committee.

How do I share my scientific data sets within the EDRN?

The EDRN has developed the Laboratory Catalog and Archive Service (LabCAS) as a mechanism to allow for distributing data generated during EDRN biomarker studies. This application provides a secure means to share data both wiithin and outside the EDRN research community. At the moment, if you would like to have your data hosted on LabCAS, please contact the Informatics Center .

What are the EDRN CDEs?
The EDRN provides a standard set of data elements called Common Data Elements (CDEs) that can be used to structure forms and build systems. These are used in a variety of informatics applications and have been developed with the EDRN since its inception. If you have questions about the CDEs, contact the Informatics Center.

How do I get access to Biomarkers?

Biomarkers from EDRN studies are captured and cataloged within the EDRN Biomarker Database. The biomarkers are curated and initially set to a private state until the information is reviewed by the investigator and the EDRN collaborative group. The content includes the information defined by the EDRN and NCI community.

How do I share my Biomarkers?

If your biomarker information is not captured or is incomplete, use the biomarker submission form. Analysts on the EDRN biocuration team (which includes the Dartmouth Medical School) will review the data and contact you for further information.

What protocols are being studied within the EDRN?

The EDRN captures protocols that are being studied by the investigators that are part of the EDRN research community. These protocols include the team projects that are currently under development.

What if my protocols are missing?

If you have protocols that you would like included, please contact the Informatics Center who can help coordinate curation of that information.
