  • NHLBI Cure Sickle Cell Initiative

    The NHLBI Cure Sickle Cell Initiative has established a web-based publicly available Metadata Catalog of curated data elements and study documentation from past and current studies of sickle cell disease populations. The catalog has over 10,000 data variables from 16 studies organized into searchable categories. Tools to help investigators find data elements and determine the availability of common data for cross-study analysis are provided. Visit the catalog at https://curesicklecell.rti.org/.
