The CDISC Mission
The CDISC mission is to develop and support
global, platform-independent data standards that
enable information system interoperability to
improve medical research and related areas of
healthcare.

What is a CDISC Data Standard?
A CDISC data standard is any product (including
specifications, user guides, implementation guides,
models or schemas) provided by CDISC that
describes representation of clinical* research data
and has been properly developed, vetted and
approved through the CDISC process.
* And non-clinical

What is SHARE?
• SHARE is a standards metadata repository for authoring,
governing, and publishing CDISC standards
• SHARE combines

Opportunities for Participation in
CDISC and CFAST Projects
1. Read and provide comments on CDISC standards posted for
review
2. Volunteer for CDISC teams at any time through the CDISC
Website
3. Respond to a CFAST call for participation for specific roles on
named projects (e.g., Clinical SME for Dyslipidemia, Medical Writer
Diabetic Nephrology)
4. Seek management approval to apply for a position in the proposed
new CDISC Fellows Program – discussed in this presentation
 This will both maintain continuity between CFAST projects as well as
build expertise in sponsoring organizations (Industry, CROs, Vendors)
5. Participate in the future collective management of CDISC
standards as part of a proposed new CDISC SHARE Metadata
Curation Collaboration initiative
 Planned for 2015 -- details to be discussed separately later.
