• Abstract The Ebola virus disease outbreak in west Africa has prompted significant progress in responding to the clinical needs of patients affected by emerging infectious disease outbreaks. Among the noteworthy successes of vaccine trials, and the commendable efforts to implement clinical treatment trials during Ebola outbreaks, we should also focus on strengthening the collection and curation of epidemiological and observational data that can improve the conception and design of clinical research. There is an urgent need to improve observational data collection during emerging infectious disease outbreaks. Clinical treatment trials and public health decision making will benefit from curation of high-quality clinical characterization and epidemiological data.
