Data Management

The network Statistical and Data Management Centers (SDMCs) have identified key areas in which the sharing of expertise, resources, and procedures will strengthen the capacity and increase the efficiency of data management operations. Most critically, the Data Management Working Groups are concerned with harmonization of data collection processes and coordination of site infrastructure changes.

SDMC partners include:

HANC supports three active data management related working groups:

The DMC Harmonization Working Group (DMCWG)
The AIDS Defining Events Working Group (ADEWG)
The Appendix 100 Working Group (App100WG).

Collaborative Efforts

SDMC staff contribute to HANC’s Training and Laboratory working groups.
