ARChetype CRFs and Templates
============================

ISARIC works closely with experts around the world to create CRFs for priority emerging and infectious diseases and outbreak-related syndromes. These CRFs address key clinical research questions that can improve patient outcomes. We call these ARChetype CRFs.

ARChetype CRFs are an important subset of our library of Templates. Templates are sets of ARC questions that we have curated for other outbreak-related contexts, such as clinical severity scores and core outcome sets. The library of Templates is openly available for use and adaptation by the research community. More information about how to download an ARChetype CRF can be found in our `Downloading an ARChetype CRF Guide <https://isaricresearch.github.io/Training/bridge_template_link>`_.
