The<unk>  is a web-based catalog of high-priority measures related to complex diseases,<unk> typic traits and environmental exposures. These measures were selected by working groups of experts using a consensus process. Use of<unk>  measures facilitates combining data from a variety of studies, and makes it easy for investigators to expand a study design beyond the primary research focus. The<unk>  is funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with co-funding by the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Supplemental funding is provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD). The<unk>  is available to the scientific community at no cost. For genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and other studies involving human subjects, the use of standard measures can facilitate cross-study analyses. Such analyses compare independent findings to validate results or combine studies to increase sample size and statistical power. This increased power makes it possible to identify more subtle and complex associations such as gene-gene and gene-environment interactions.<unk>  is an NIH Common Data Element (CDE) Repository project and supports the NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science, which promotes FAIR principles (i.e., Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) to facilitate data sharing. In 2020,<unk>  collaborated with the U.S. NIH's Public Health Emergency and Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) to collect and review research protocols for epidemiologists, clinicians and other scientists studying COVID-19. The<unk>  released six specialty collections of protocols to promote the use of CDEs for research on COVID-19 in October 2020.
