There is consensus across the research community, especially in the biomedical fields: research data matters. Research data is central to scientific discovery and integrity, and for researcher recognition. Funders recognize the importance of managing research data to make it transparent how taxpayers’ money is being used, and to drive this they are prescribing mandates on research data. In January 2023, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will begin requiring most of the 300,000 researchers and 2,500 institutions it funds annually to include a data-management plan in their grant applications — and to make their data publicly available. As a result, the NIH launched the Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI) in order to make it easier to find and reuse NIH-funded data. The GREI includes six established generalist repositories that will work together to establish consistent metadata, develop use cases for data sharing, train and educate researchers on FAIR data and the importance of data sharing, and more. During this panel discussion, we would like to invite you to learn about:
The GREI project and the new NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing (DMS)
NIH repository guidance for properly sharing datasets
How co-opetition builds compliance to figure out where your datasets can be published within the virtual sea of repositories
