Data Curation Network Seminar Series Announced
The Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) is partnering with the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to announce an event series led by the Data Curation Network (DCN). DCN is a project comprised of professional data curators, data management experts, data repository administrators, disciplinary scientists, and scholars from academic institutions and non-profit data repositories that steward research data for future use. This series will provide provide new approaches, methods, and best practices from representatives of the Data Curation Network on management, curation, and sharing to promote transparency, reproducibility, and reuse of research data.

New Funding Opportunity: An Educational Hub for Enhancing Diversity in Computational Genomics and Data Science
This notice is to alert the community that NHGRI plans to publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for an Educational Hub for Enhancing Diversity in Computational Genomics and Data Science, referred to as “the Hub”. The Hub will support activities to promote education in computational genomics and data science (CGDS), and cloud computing among undergraduates, masters’ degree students and faculty at institutions whose mission is to serve students from groups that are currently under-represented in CGDS (hereafter, collectively referred to as Target Institutions). Examples of Target Institutions include, but are not limited to, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and women’s colleges and institutions serving students with disabilities.

April 2022 Data Sharing and Reuse Seminar
The central nervous system (CNS) is intrinsically complex and CNS injury impacts molecules, cells, circuits, cognition, mood and behavior, and all organ systems innervated by CNS via its peripheral projections. To manage this complexity the fields of traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury have launched community-driven data sharing initiatives and ecosystems for making research data FAIR and AI-ready. Dr. Ferguson will provide an overview of these efforts and describe how machine intelligence on pooled data is revolutionizing precision care in these epidemiologically large, yet poorly understood areas of biomedicine.

Feedback Sought on the NIH-Wide Strategic Plan Framework for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility
We strongly believe that an inclusive and diverse pool of highly talented individuals is key for the country to remain a global leader in scientific discovery and innovation. This means we must actively consider factors that address DEIA principles and appropriately embed them within NIH and the wider scientific community. Embracing this DEIA vision will enhance our ability to drive biomedical innovation and serve an increasingly diverse US population.
