Our Mission & Vision
Building the future of critical care data science through collaboration, innovation, and integrity
Our Mission
Promote transparency, interoperability, and innovation in critical care data science by developing a consistent and comprehensive ecosystem of essential data elements that describe critical illness.
Our Vision
The Common Longitudinal ICU data Format (CLIF) will be adopted worldwide as a research and operational database format, facilitating significant advances in critical care medicine.
Our Core Values
Open Collaboration & Access
We encourage diverse researchers, clinicians, and developers to contribute to CLIF's growth through high-quality ICU data science.
Data Privacy & Security
Patient confidentiality is central. CLIF uses federated analysis, ensuring patient data is never transferred between sites.
Scientific Integrity
We uphold rigorous research standards and assert that mCIDE is essential for scientific integrity.
Learn about mCIDE →Transparency & Reproducibility
CLIF code is publicly accessible under FAIR principles while respecting proprietary data protection.
Encouraging Partnerships
We provide open-source tools under permissive licenses to encourage global adoption.
