Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) Health Studies Australian National Data Asset (HeSANDA) Advisory Committee - of which ACTA is a member - has launched a consultation series to establish consensus between researchers involved in sharing or reusing clinical trials data on the use of a national data asset to support and improve research activities.

If you are interested in participating in the series on behalf of your organisation or network, details and EOI processes are available via the links below:

·         ARDC’s Platforms program focuses on developing virtual research environments to find, collect, and analyse data, and generate FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) outputs. The EOI for the 2020 Platforms open call will open in early July 2020.

·         The National Data Assets (NatDA) initiative will shape and contribute to creating a portfolio of national-scale data assets that support leading-edge research.

·         Australian Data Partnerships program will open in early July 2020, and will establish or enhance collaborative data assets that support leading edge research, and are national in scale.

·         Health Studies National Data Assets program will call for expressions of interest in Infrastructure development (Stream B) in around November 2020. HeSANDA seeks to capture the data outputs of health research studies and will fund the development of institutional infrastructure to be built to a national standard.
