CDR Activities Overview
The ELIXIR Core Data Resources (CDR) process consists of three key activities:
- CDR Selection: the running of intermittent CDR selection rounds to add new mature biodata resources to the ELIXIR CDR portfolio - call opens every second year.
- Annual Indicator Monitoring (AIM): metric collection from the current portfolio of CDR and ELIXIR Deposition Databases (EDD) - runs on an annual basis.
- CDR Periodic Review: an in-depth review of the current CDR portfolio - resources reviewed every four years.
All activities relating to the ELIXIR CDR process will be maintained and updated in an ongoing basis on this web page within the timelines below.

Information on the Global Biodata Coalition (GBC)
- The Global Biodata Coalition (GBC) has created an independent process for the selection and monitoring of the Global Core Biodata Resources (GCBR).
- While independent, the two groups have continued to keep their activities aligned to simplify the participation of ELIXIR members in both the CDR and the GCBR processes.
- Please find key dates and information on the GBC selection process here.
