Inconsistent integration of HL7® FHIR® into clinical research is partly due to challenges like limited tailored trainings for this community. NIH developed and delivered customized FHIR trainings for researchers within IDeA-CTR institutions. A capability assessment revealed varying levels of FHIR readiness. Hands-on workshops, covering data extraction and analysis with FHIR Bulk Data, SMART on FHIR, enhanced participants’ understanding but underscored additional training needs. To broaden training reach, a train-the-trainer module was incorporated.
