The I FAIR Programme “Enhancement of Independent and FAIR Clinical Research” is an initiative promoted by Sardegna Ricerche to introduce the FAIR data Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) in regional clinical research projects.
The Programme consists of two parts: the regional biomedical research registry and the I FAIR call. The registry will gather references to resources and data collected in independent clinical trials conducted in Sardinia. The call identifies an initial core of independent clinical studies to be indexed in the register and provides the studies with dual support, financial and technical-operational for study design (on bioethics, biostatistics and FAIR data).
In the framework of the IFAIR Program, CRS4 is responsible for the realization of the registry of biomedical research in Sardinia and for the support to the researchers of the selected studies for the introduction to the application of the FAIR Guiding Principles.
The I FAIR Programme “Enhancement of Independent and FAIR clinical research” is one of the actions promoted by Sardegna Ricerche within the themes identified by the S3 (Intelligent Specialisation Strategy of Sardinia) for the biomedicine sector and the development of the Biomed District, and is implemented in collaboration with the Department of Medical Sciences and Public Health of the University of Cagliari (Legal Medicine sector), the Department of Medical, Surgical and Experimental Sciences of the University of Sassari (Medical Statistics sector), and the Digital Health and Next Generation Sequencing Core groups of CRS4.
I FAIR is funded with POR FESR Sardegna 2014 – 2020 funds.
