PharmaForest: A Collaborative Repository of SAS Packages for Pharmaceutical Industry
Project Description |
This project aims to drive adoption of reusable SAS packages and best practices across the pharmaceutical industry, addressing inefficiencies, fragmentation and limited collaboration. It focuses on establishing an open, sustainable ecosystem – PharmaForest – built on the SAS Packages Framework (SPF) to improve productivity, compliance and knowledge sharing. Key activities include developing educational materials and presentations on implementing PharmaForest packages and SPF, and sharing these through webinars, industry events (e.g. PHUSE Connect) and training sessions. The project will also create and maintain an open-source repository of high-quality SAS packages for common pharmaceutical use cases, enabling consistent installation and version control. By fostering community engagement through contributions, peer review and onboarding resources, PharmaForest will reduce duplicated coding, improve standardisation and enhance quality. This approach will accelerate development timelines, lower costs, strengthen compliance and support a more collaborative and innovative SAS programming community. |
