The Safely Held Electronic Data Platform (SHED) provides OnCore® Enterprise Research, a data management tool allowing for longitudinal tracking of study subjects (including disease profiles and outcomes) and storage of versioned IRB protocols, subject consents, clinical findings (including images) and pedigree-formatted family data. LabmatrixTM provides the capability for complete biospecimen tracking (annotations, locations, chains of custody, barcodes), cell and cell lines annotation, and reporting (research-oriented + administrative). Both systems reside in the CWRU Secure Research Environment (SRE), which allows researchers to store and analyze sensitive research data subject to regulatory standards, including HIPAA and FISMA. Together, these offerings address numerous logistic support and data management tasks.
