Collaborative DataSpace: User Guide

Documentation
The CAVD DataSpace (CDS) data portal is a custom project developed by LabKey and the Statistical Center for HIV/AIDS Research and Prevention (SCHARP) at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (Fred Hutch). The goal is to help researchers gain new insights from completed studies, making integrated data from all studies available within a web-based interface for browsing.

The CAVD DataSpace is available to the public. The documentation topics in this section cover how to use the Dataspace. They also serve as an example of how custom development can transform LabKey Server to suit unique application requirements.
