The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Data Science Strategy hosts a seminar series to highlight exemplars of data sharing and reuse on the second Friday of each month at noon ET. The monthly series highlights researchers who have taken existing data and found clever ways to reuse the data or generate new findings. A different NIH institute or center (IC) will also share its data science activities each month.
The seminar is open to the public and registration is required each month. Individuals who need interpreting services and/or other reasonable accommodations to participate in this event should contact Allison Hurst at 301-670-4990. Requests should be made at least three days in advance of the event. A recording will be available on this page after each event.
For updates on Data Sharing and Reuse Seminars, and other ODSS activities and announcements, sign up for our email list here.
