    WEBINAR SERIES

    Forecasting Data Costs for Researchers, Funders, and Storage Providers


    Join the National Academies for a webinar series this August that will focus on data preservation approaches for research communities, funding organizations, and data storage providers.  These webinars will explore in greater depth the cost framework presented in our recent report, Life Cycle Decisions for Biomedical Data: The Challenge of Forecasting Costs.  
     

    Webinar Dates, Times, and Topics


    Thursday, Aug 13, 12-1pm EDT: Data Costs for Researchers

    Speakers will discuss how researchers can plan for the life cycle of their data and how to create an environment conducive to cost forecasting of sustainable data management.

    Thursday, Aug 20, 12-1pm EDT: Data Costs for Funding Organizations

    Speakers will address how research funders can encourage and foster sustainable data management practices.

    Thursday, Aug 27, 12-1pm EDT: Data Costs for Storage Providers

    Speakers will discuss how scientific data storage providers can help make data more discoverable, aid in the development and adoption of data and metadata standardization and best practices, and help users better understand their storage options.

    NEW STUDY
    Announcing the Committee on Advancing a Systems Approach to Studying the Earth


    The National Academies are pleased to announce provisional members of the committee on Advancing a Systems Approach to Studying the Earth: A Strategy for the National Science Foundation. The role of the committee is to develop a compelling vision for a systems approach to studying the Earth and identify facilities, infrastructure, coordinating mechanisms, computing, and workforce development needed to support that vision. Members of the committee were selected for their scientific expertise, as well as their experiences working in integrated research and in taking a systems approach to Earth science.
