YODA Project

Last updated

The YODA (Yale Open Data Access) Project is a Yale University project to promote open data in clinical research.

Contents

The YODA Project has served as a trusted intermediary in a variety of collaborative efforts to make scientific data more broadly available to researchers. It is a response to expanding demands for health information. [1]

The YODA Project is currently partnering with Johnson & Johnson.. [2] [3] [4] SI-BONE is also a partner. [5] Inquiries for data availability for unlisted trials from these data holders can also be submitted. [6]

This project is being examined as a pilot for a new way of sharing information. [7] [8]
