Currently we are working on the Metadata Core definition (page is in development) and on the process for onboarding (meta)data into the national Health-RI infrastructure.

FAIR data in funded health research projects
Funders, such as ZonMw, KWF and Health-NL Health~Holland, recognize the need for effective collaboration around a robust national health data infrastructure for the (re)use of FAIR (meta)data. They are incorporating the FAIR principles in their requirements more and more. You can read more on this in this statement (in Dutch).
Health-RI is setting up /wiki/spaces/FSD/pages/33816783for making data FAIR together with ZonMw and KWFfunders, which are valuable for their projects but also for other researchers interested in making their data more FAIR.
Within the health sector there currently is no coordinated way to exchange relevant metadata between (research) organisations. The current capturing and connecting of data is fragmented and not equipped to effectively combine and analyse different data sources.
Making data FAIR helps optimizing reuse of data. Health-RI is working with funders in the health sector to align requirements and offer services when it comes to FAIRification of the data their granted projects are producing.
