National Academy BRDI Open Challenge on Research
Data and
As a way of raising awareness and stimulating thinking about the
potential for new uses of research data and information, the US
National Academy of Sciences Board on Research Data and Information
(which I currently co-chair), has issued an open challenge for
exemplary projects. The announcement is below. I hope that there will
be some great submissions from members of the CNI community.

The National Academy of Sciences Board on Research Data and
Information (BRDI; www.nas.edu/brdi) announces an open
challenge to increase awareness of current issues and opportunities in
research data and information. These issues include, but are not
limited to, accessibility, integration, searchability, reuse,
sustainability, perceived versus real value and reproducibility.
A Letter of Intent is requested by December 1, 2013 and the
deadline for final entries is May 15, 2014.
Awardees will be invited to present their projects at the
National Academy of Sciences in Washington DC as part of a symposium
of the regularly scheduled Board of Research Data and Information
meeting in the latter half of 2014.
