Other Open Sourcing

Please find below some links to other useful resources around supporting open sourcing to help the industry with clinical reporting.

PHUSE Working Groups supporting industry adoption of open source technology, such as by assessing the fundamental differences in statistical analysis results across languages and how we can mitigate such risk and maintain confidence in open source languages.
R Consortium Working Groups focused around industry R enablement, such as by working with FDA to pilot fully R-based submissions.
R Validation Hub designing a framework that assesses the quality of an R package and considering topics around R package validation in accordance with regulatory standards.
TransCelerate Modernization of Statistical Analytics project aiming to analyze methods for considering and validating novel statistical computing platforms to propose to Health Authorities.
Software Engineering Working Group engineers selected statistical R-packages and promotes good software engineering practices in the biostatistics community and beyond.

R/Pharma is a non-profit, free, yearly conference that brings together the R users in Pharma and is the primary focal point for the R developer community in Pharma.

R Consortium is a non-profit that supports the use and development of R. Within the R Consortium is the Pharma Oversight Commitee, which helps to identify and address Pharma related gaps in the R language. The R Consortium also gives out grants to fund open source projects, and contributes funding to some high level projects relevant to Pharma like DBI and R Core.
CDISC Open-Source Alliance (COSA) supports, promotes, and sometimes sponsors open source software projects that create tools for implementing or developing CDISC standards to drive innovation in the CDISC community. An example of open source work being led out of CDISC would be CORE, where the objective is to provide an open source executable suite of CDISC conformance checks.
github.com/openpharma A github organisation founded by Novartis and Roche that is happy to host any repo that needs a home. No opinions or controls are placed on repos added, beyond the initial threshold the repo being added is coming from Pharma and for Pharma.

openpharma.pharmaverse.org A non-opinionated companion to the pharmaverse that contains a dashboard and crawler that tracks >200 R and Python packages built by Pharma for Pharma, with a focus on capturing metrics and helping would-be open source contributors find areas to support. The daily builds of metadata generated by openpharma are used throughout the pharmaverse website.
A vendor managed collection of open source solutions, programs and scripts for clinical study evaluations covering numerous programming languages, maintained by Katja Glass.
