Newswise — Rockville, MD (January 31, 2024)—The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) and the Office of Data Science Strategy at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced today the recipients of this year’s FASEB DataWorks! Prize. The annual prize showcases teams’ exemplary achievements in biological and biomedical research that were made possible through data management and sharing.
Sharing and reusing scientific data openly has tremendous potential to catalyze new scientific discoveries. Exemplary data management and sharing requires innovative and interdisciplinary collaboration to maximize impact.
DataWorks! Prize, a component of FASEB DataWorks!, is a partnership between FASEB and NIH to incentivize effective practices and increase community engagement around data sharing and reuse. A panel of NIH officials selected seven research teams as winners. The winning teams share a prize purse of almost $300,000 and will participate in a symposium to share their winning projects.
