Innovative and well-designed tools and resources to support the use and accessibility of Real-World Evidence

GetReal Glossary of Key Terms

Definitions of key terms relevant to the IMI-GetReal Consortium – a precurser to the GetReal Institute


The IMI-GetReal Glossary Working Group acknowledged there is a debate around many of these terms, and in some cases no clear consensus has been reached in the international community. However, for the purposes of the IMI-GetReal these are the proposed definitions.

Real-World Evidence Study Design Landscape Tool

An online-tool to support the selection of RWE Study Designs, appropriate for the research question and stakeholders’ evidence needs.


This project was funded by the Innovative Medicines Initiative 2 Joint Undertaking under grant agreement No 807012. This Joint Undertaking receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and EFPIA.

Real-World Evidence Navigator 

The RWE Navigator is an output of the IMI GetReal project. GetReal aimed to show how robust new methods of real-world evidence (RWE) collection and synthesis could be adopted earlier in pharmaceutical research and development (R&D) and the healthcare decision-making process.

Using the RWE Navigator will help to understand the application of RWE in the development of medicines, vaccines and technologies, including data sources, study designs and analytical techniques with reference to authoritative sources if you want to find out more
