In addition, this webinar addressed how the TBI research community can utilize FITBIR’s Meta Study Module to fulfill Data Management and Sharing requirements.
• NIH panelists for this webinar included:
  • Nsini Umoh, PhD, NINDS Program Director for Traumatic Brain Injury research and co-Director of FITBIR
  • Matthew McAuliffe, PhD, Acting Chief, Office of Scientific Computing Services (OSCS) and Co-Director of FITBIR
  • Alison Garcia, MS, Project Manager, Center for Information Technology (CIT)

• NINDS-funded TBI research data involving human subjects research that is not covered by the NOT-NS-17-029 will now be required to house data in the Meta Study Module within FITBIR. This webinar covered policy updates (NOT-NS-23-046), steps to submit data to the Meta Study module, and included a Q&A session at the end.
