Standardizing Data and Metadata from Wearable Devices (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The purpose of this NOFO is to support the creation of standards and related efforts that will allow researchers to easily access data from personal tracking devices. The awardees will be expected to partner with device manufacturers as well as the researcher community if the effort is going to be successful. It is expected that the awardees will create standards for personal tracking device data that serve the same purpose as the DICOM or Neuroimaging Informatics Technology Initiative (NIfTI) formats and standards do for medical image files. This R01 grant supports research projects that develop standardization frameworks to enable consistent data collection, storage, and sharing across different wearable device platforms.
