“The future of biological and biomedical research hinges on the ability of researchers to share and reuse data. Our goal is to incentivize creativity in developing best practices and strategies to share data and to further the NIH’s Data Management and Sharing Policy.”
– Susan Gregurick, PhD, Director of NIH ODSS.
The DataWorks! Prize recognizes excellence, and rewards researchers for integrating data sharing and reuse into their research processes. Through the 2023 Prize, FASEB and NIH will recognize and reward exceptional data practices in biological and biomedical research labs during the active phase of research which enable robust data sharing and reuse, and create a library of best practice methods that can be used by the broader research community.
The 2023 DataWorks! Prize will focus on best practice “recipes” that advance biological and biomedical research activities, with a focus on practices enabling robust data management during the research process. Participants will submit their data sharing/reuse best practice recipes in a form that can be used by an audience of their peers, such as a teaching resource or tool for active data management . In this way, the 2023 prize will collate a rich set of best practices recipes and interactive resources to be hosted by the DataWorks! Help Desk that can be used by the research community to more easily and successfully manage, share, and reuse data. The 2023 DataWorks! Prize will include up to 16 team awards. Submissions will undergo an expert review, with final awards selected by a panel of NIH judges. Winning teams will be recognized with a cash prize, and will be invited to participate in future DataWorks! Program opportunities.
Awards:-
The 2023 DataWorks! Prize will award both cash prizes from NIH and non-monetary recognition awards from FASEB.
