How Can Data Sharing Catalyze Your Scientific Research?
Data management and sharing skills are a critical need in biological and biomedical research. Learn about the data management and sharing ecosystem through Jason Williams’ experiences at CyVerse and Cold Spring Harbor Lab.  

Speakers:  

• Jason Williams, Assistant Director for External Collaborations, DNA Learning Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
• Will Lai, PhD, Assistant Research Professor, Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Cornell University
• Yvette Seger, PhD, Director of Science Policy, FASEB 
• Laure Haak, PhD, Chief Executive Officer, Mighty Red Barn Consulting
   

How to Support Data Sharing by Individual Researchers  
  A conversation on how we can support data sharing at the lab level. Learn about data citations, gaining credit, and how your lab can implement data sharing practices today.  

Presenters  

• Parker Antin, Professor and AVPR, University of Arizona; event moderator.  
• Sheenah Mische, Associate Professor, Department of Pathology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine 
• Kristi Holmes, Director, Galter Health Sciences Library and Professor of Preventive Medicine (Health and Biomedical Informatics) and Medical Education at Northwestern University

How Data Sharing Supports Reproducibility and Knowledge Equity
Data sharing is integral to rigor and reproducibility and knowledge equity. Learn about data provenance, knowledge equity, and how to maximize the impact of data sharing in your research.  

Presenters  

• Parker Antin, Professor and AVPR, University of Arizona
• Sheenah Mische, Associate Professor, Department of Pathology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine
• Kristi Holmes, Director, Galter Health Sciences Library and Professor of Preventive Medicine (Health and Biomedical Informatics) and Medical Education at Northwestern University
• Kevin Knudtson, President, Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities

Researcher Perspective: What Motivates You to Share Data?
Data reuse is critical need and, as William Lai notes, we’re barely scratching the surface of how we can share and reuse the data that is currently available. Learn data sharing best practices and data sharing in practice—from lab notebooks and data dissemination to scientific discovery.    

Speakers  

• Jason Williams, Assistant Director for External Collaborations, DNA Learning Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory 
• Will Lai PhD, Assistant Research Professor, Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Cornell University 
• Yvette Seger PhD, Director of Science Policy, FASEB 
• Laure Haak, PhD, CEO Mighty Red Barn Consulting

What Funders Are Doing to Support Data Sharing
Data sharing can facilitate cross-disciplinary scientific collaboration, enhance scientific discovery, and create a rich ecosystem of practice. Funders discuss how open science is critical to the success of the next generation of research and how they are providing tools, guidance, and collaboration mechanisms to support open science practices.

• Salvatore La Rosa, Chief Science Officer, Children's Tumor Foundation
• Sonya Dumanis, Deputy Director, Aligning Science Across Parkinson's

Understanding the NIH Policy on Data Sharing and Management
Hear directly from the National Institutes of Health about the NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy and what to expect as a researcher. Lyric Jorgenson, PhD, Acting Director of the NIH Office of Science Policy,  provides an overview of the policy and how researchers can prepare a plan that aligns with the policy goals and requirements. 

Presenters  

• Lyric Jorgenson, PhD, Acting Associate Director for Science Policy and Acting Director of the Office of Science Policy, NIH

Preparing a Data Management Plan  
Learn from researchers, data librarians, and policy leaders how you can start your data management plan (DMP). Also, discover the support you can get to create your DMP and strengthen your research approach.
