data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="25" data-safelink="true" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">GO FAIR Foundation</a>, provides an opportunity to learn about the theoretical and practical foundations of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) Principles and how they can enhance the discovery, utility and attribution of biological and biomedical research data. The principles, first published in <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/sdata201618" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="26" data-safelink="true" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nature</a> in 2016, created a set of guidelines which seek to enhance the sharing and reuse of data. Through this event series, ODSS and the GO FAIR Foundation will support participants who seek to learn how FAIR works in practice, the skills needed to implement FAIR, and how to make FAIR a more routine aspect of their data management strategy.</p><p> </p><div class="callout event-box"><h4><strong>Event 1: So, Why Go FAIR?</strong> <br>April 17, 2023, 11:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. EST</h4><p>This interactive webinar will provide stakeholders with historical and technical context to better understand FAIR and how the principles might impact their work. Presenters will explore key issues around FAIR interpretation and implementation, and consider technological trends in the FAIRification and orchestration of research data. The event  is targeted towards a broad range of stakeholders including executives, policy makers, administrators, information technology experts, librarians, researchers, and data stewards. A few hands-on exercises will help to ground key concepts in practical examples. After the webinar, participants will:</p><ul><li>Be aware of long-term trends to make data more machine-actionable.</li><li>Know what FAIR data are, and what they are not.</li><li>Be familiar with what it takes to go FAIR</li><li>Recognize the advantages of FAIR for the researcher and other stakeholders</li></ul><p>A recording of this webinar is available <a href="https://osf.io/2vy3t" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="1" data-safelink="true" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><div class="content-collapsible collapsed"><p><span class="read-more-label">View Speaker Bios</span> <span class="read-less-label">Close Speaker Bios</span></p><div class="row clearfix"><div class="col-md-2"><p><img src="/sites/default/files/Barbara%20Magagna.jpg" alt="Barbara Magagna"> <br><strong>Barbara Magagna</strong></p></div><div class="col-md-10"><p><strong>Barbara Magagna:</strong> is a landscape ecologist and knowledge engineer.

This work included the development of the first accredited FAIR awareness training programs for executives and practical introductions to FAIR data stewardship for front-line data producers. Erik is also co-developer of numerous FAIR maturity evaluation services and is the architect of the now widely adopted Three-Point FAIRification Framework (M4Ms, FIPs, and FDPs) that is deployed in numerous international settings. </p></div></div></div></div><div class="callout event-box"><h4><strong>Event 2: Making Metadata FAIR</strong> <br>June 12-13, 2023, 10:00 A.M.-2:00 P.M. EST</h4><p>This second event in the “Getting Practical With The FAIR Principles” series will build on foundational familiarity with FAIR by providing participants with practical experience tackling a key challenge in FAIR implementation, creating FAIR metadata. Following an introduction to concrete strategies and tools, participants will collaborate on a set of guided exercises to generate FAIR metadata based on an example dataset. Through this hands-on approach, participants will gain experience addressing real-world social and technical challenges to make metadata FAIR. participants will leave the workshop with a better understanding of how FAIR works in practice, the skills needed to implement FAIR, and how to make FAIR a more routine aspect of their data management and/or stewardship practices.</p><p>Following the workshop, participants will be able to:</p><ul><li>Define the characteristics of FAIR metadata</li><li>Describe the steps required to make metadata FAIR</li><li>Describe social and technical challenges related to creating FAIR metadata and strategies and tools that can help address them</li><li>Interact successfully with one or more technical tools for creating FAIR metadata</li></ul><p><a class="button blue" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc6vTiaQwaLEP6g_fI4JP2B1g_YV-tV3dsnvHN5d1CwwqzhgA/viewform"><strong>Register Now</strong></a></p></div></div> <section class="field field--name-comment-node-page field--type-comment field--label-hidden comment-wrapper"> </section> </div> </article> </div> </div> </section> </main> </div> <div class="row lastupdated"> <p>This page last reviewed on May 15, 2023</p> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="site-footer-wrap"> <div class="container"> <div class="site-footer-bottom-wrap"> <section class="row l-region l-region--footer-fifth"> <div id="block-block-content-83129f25-f6bb-41ba-af81-cab85348da55" class="block-content-basic block block-block-content block-block-content83129f25-f6bb-41ba-af81-cab85348da55"> <div class="content"> <div class="text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><footer class="l-footer" role="contentinfo"> <h2 class="element-invisible"> Footer</h2> <ul> <li> <a href="/">Office of Data Science Strategy</a></li> <li> <a href="/sitemap">Site Map</a></li> <li> <a href="https://www.nih.gov/web-policies-notices">Web Policies and Notices</a></li> <li> <a href="https://www.nih.gov/institutes-nih/nih-office-director/office-communications-public-liaison/freedom-information-act-office">FOIA</a></li> <li> <a href="https://edi.nih.gov/no-fear-act">No Fear Act</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.hhs.gov/vulnerability-disclosure-policy/index.html">HHS Vulnerability Disclosure</a></li> </ul> <ul> <li> <a href="https://dpcpsi.nih.gov/">DPCPSI Home</a></li> <li> <a href="https://www.nih.gov/">NIH Home</a></li> <li> <a href="https://oig.hhs.gov/">Office of the Inspector General</a></li> <li> <a href="https://www.usa.gov/">USA.gov</a></li> </ul> <p> NIH…Turning Discovery Into Health<sup>®</sup></p> <p> National Institutes of Health, 9000 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, Maryland 20892</p> <p> <a href="https://www.hhs.gov/">U.S. Department of Health and Human Services</a></p>  </footer>  <div class="back-to-top" style="display: block;"><a href="#" role="button"><span class="icon-arrow-up"></span><span class="text">Back to Top</span></a></div></div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </footer> </div> </div> </div> <script type="application/json" data-drupal-selector="drupal-settings-json">{"path":{"baseUrl":"\/","pathPrefix":"","currentPath":"node\/31686","currentPathIsAdmin":false,"isFront":false,"currentLanguage":"en"},"pluralDelimiter":"\u0003","suppressDeprecationErrors":true,"gtm":{"tagId":null,"settings":[],"tagIds":["GTM-T9K42VKD"]},"gtag":{"tagId":"G-Y60CQSK2FH","otherIds":[],"events":[],"additionalConfigInfo":[]},"ajaxPageState":{"libraries":"eJxlkOsKwyAMhV_I1UeSpGbWTU0xKWvffraMwvRP4HyHnFyQWUUrrA6h1sgWK4Gf65bRYO-FxAjpIXqkWMLoN_qWEWcSgUDiPktUGv3CnszMiSvybj09YUt6AxdLyyXbaUO7nvOsr9sKafpJE5hDIqcQbGil1xO8YP-H2ZS42HurS7U0qqXdCq0cGme5cPcAOUQpWwQho-gyBchUthGcDSRfEVuPQQ","theme":"nih","theme_token":null},"ajaxTrustedUrl":[],"colorbox":{"opacity":"0.85","current":"{current} of {total}","previous":"\u00ab Prev","next":"Next \u00bb","close":"Close","maxWidth":"98%","maxHeight":"98%","fixed":true,"mobiledetect":true,"mobiledevicewidth":"480px"},"data":{"extlink":{"extTarget":true,"extTargetNoOverride":true,"extNofollow":true,"extNoreferrer":true,"extFollowNoOverride":false,"extClass":"ext","extLabel":"(link is external)","extImgClass":false,"extSubdomains":true,"extExclude":"^(https?:\\\/\\\/)?(\\S*)?(\\.gov)(\\S*)?$","extInclude":"","extCssExclude":"","extCssExplicit":"","extAlert":true,"extAlertText":"You are leaving the Office of Data Science Strategy website.\r\n\r\nThis external link provides additional information that is consistent with the intended purpose of this site.
