CDD for Foundations

Key benefits for research foundations

  • Maintain research continuity as the research groups participating in a collaborative project change.
  • Ensure continued access to the results of sponsored research by archiving all research data in a central, secure, industrial-strength database.
  • Enable new research paradigms that maximize the benefits of highly-interactive collaborations.
  • Integrate dispersed efforts: test Group A's compounds with Group B's models against Group C's new target.
  • Avoid performing redundant research work.
  • Capture and organize fragmented data dispersed across multiple laboratories.
  • Easily set-up and manage collaborations involving multiple research groups located anywhere in the world.
  • Avoid the need to purchase and maintain hardware and software, avoid the need to pay an IT specialist to support users, and avoid the need to worry about the security and integrity of research data.
  • Exploit state-of-the-art database software and support at an affordable price.
  • Protect the commercial value inherent in the research data your foundation sponsors, so promising approaches can be patented and commercialized, while also encouraging researchers to share data to the greatest extent practical.
  • Extract the greatest value from preclinical data to advance new drugs more rapidly.

Key benefits for all users

  • Capture and organize fragmented data.
  • Keep pace with high-throughput experiments so data sets don’t pile up unanalyzed.
  • Avoid performing redundant research work.
  • Maintain project continuity when group members leave.
  • Ensure data integrity and availability by archiving to CDD’s safe and secure repository.
  • Exploit sophisticated cheminformatics and bioinformatics tools without the need for specialized informatics training.
  • Extract the greatest value from preclinical data.
  • Mine your own data together with open-access data through a single, intuitive interface.
  • Integrate dispersed efforts: test Group A's compounds with Group B's models against Group C's new target.
  • Control your data: keep your data completely private, exchange some data confidentially with colleagues you specify, or share openly with the scientific community; specify which data sets to share, with whom to share them, and when they can be shared.
