Generalist Repositories and the 2024 DataWorks! Prize: Advancing Data Sharing in Biomedical Research

Join us on October 8 at 1 pm ET for the FASEB DataWorks! Salon to explore the roles of generalist repositories, learn about the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI), and review the 2024 DataWorks! Prize opportunity, which includes a prize pool of $500,000.

This salon will address generalist repository use cases, best practices for depositing and finding data, and how the generalist repositories fit into the broader data repository landscape, including the GREI program. We will review the opportunity for research community members to participate in the 2024 DataWorks! Prize by proposing an impactful secondary analysis project using at least one dataset from the seven participating GREI repositories: Dataverse, Dryad, Figshare, Mendeley Data, Open Science Framework, Vivli, and Zenodo.
