OD/OER DATA Scholar Position

Being a DATA Scholar requires deep experience in, and knowledge of, data and computer sciences and related fields at NIH. The goals and objectives for the OD/OER DATA Scholar project call is to understand the potential benefits of persistent identifiers (PIDs) to strengthen infrastructure supporting metadata re-use, automation of data systems, and improved quality of disambiguated data elements with clearer relationships between them. Estimate the cost savings based on expected improved productivity of researchers and research support staff, against the costs incurred to integrate PIDs into funder and research organization data systems. Make recommendations for an NIH-wide PID strategy that is aligned with existing recommendations made by the Subcommittee on Open Science, Office of Science & Technology Policy.
