The NIAID-funded International epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS (IeDEA) consortium is a global HIV observational research network with seven geographic regions and over 350 participating HIV care and treatment clinics. The data scientists and data managers of IeDEA established the Harmonist Project to develop informatics-driven methodologies, data standards, and tools to catalyze IeDEA data sharing and scientific collaboration. In this presentation, we will share the process and outcomes, demos of generalizable tools built on REDCap and R Shiny, and potential uses for other large observational research networks.
