About
FAIREHR is a one-stop shop...
..for researchers to preregister their studies in the field of human and environmental health, following the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) guidance principles.
FAIREHR enhances the exchange of information on environmental and health studies, promoting validation and harmonization of monitoring approaches.
The FAIREHR aims to consolidate researches leading to generation of data on exposure to chemicals in a central IT infrastructure and to ensure that information is secure, of high quality, findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable to the extent possible.
The FAIREHR will serve the research community from concept to project completion for generating reusable high-quality metadata and ensuring visibility throughout the research project life cycle.
FAIREHR will:
- Comparability of research results
- Reusability of research results
- Transparency
- Replication rate
- Quality and allow study reports to be compliant with established reporting criteria
- Unnecessary duplication preventing wasted view effort and precious research funds
- Unnecessary methodological heterogeneity
- Risk of insufficient metadata collection (Metadata deficiencies)
- Selective reporting and reporting or publication bias and help shed light on negative studies
- Global collaboration between researchers
- Identification of ongoing or concluded, not yet published, studies
- Peer-reviewers to compare the manuscript findings with the registered study
- Patients and encourages patient/public participation in research
- Guideline development
- Commissioners and funders of research allowing them to identify ongoing studies in their field of interest
- Aiding the wider scientific and scholarly community by allowing for open and early peer-review of study objectives and methods, allowing for adjustments and refinement and to ensure the question asked is the right one

Who should be part of the network? (users)
Preregistration of environmental and health research studies aids scientists, regulators, policy makers (at various levels such as EU, national, regional), life sciences companies, occupational health hygienist, publishing house, journals, professional associations, Contract Research Organization (CRO), Meta researchers and research funding bodies to track and identify planned and ongoing, as well as completed, studies. The metadata will also include links to related information, facilitating comprehensive data exploration.
Our platform will enable researchers to consult with experts in the field for getting insights in topics relevant for their research question. In addition, human and machine-readable metadata will enable automatic discovery of datasets and services to promote evidence-based decision-making process for research and development (R&D) and public health.
Our Mission
At FAIREHR we believe that all people must have a fair opportunity to have access to method, tools and expert knowledge to be able to generate impactful research in open science environments as fundamental enabler for public health digital transformation.
With FAIREHR we provide a unique platform for everyone to connect and be part of the smart community. FAIREHR aim is to increase or facilitate external collaborations and data integration from various sources with increasing machine discoverability and (re)use of data. Exchange information on emerging science:
Improve data quality
Promote Synergies among research teams and more efficient transfer of research findings to policy-makers and other interested stakeholders
Encourage the validation and harmonisation of common measurement methods and monitoring tools so that the demands of risk assessors can be better met
