YaleNews | Data from consumer product trials now available through Yale YODA Project

"The Yale University Open Data Access (YODA) Project has announced the first-ever broad availability of clinical trial data for consumer products by a company. This expansion of data sharing is made possible through a collaboration with Johnson & Johnson.

Results from the clinical trials of the consumer businesses of Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies will now be made available to researchers through an agreement with the YODA Project, establishing a fully independent intermediary to manage requests and promote data use, just as the company has done with its pharmaceutical and medical devices and diagnostic clinical trial data.

This expanded scope that now includes consumer studies is yet another step forward in the continuing evolution of open science in clinical medicine, say the YODA leaders. This partnership is part of the larger YODA mission to promote scientific inquiry and lower barriers to data access."
