Fwd: AgBiodata monthly webinar February 2nd

by Annarita Marrano

Hi everybody, It's that time of the month to advertise our monthly webinar! We will have our first webinar of the year this Wed, February 2nd, with *Baron Koylass* and *Timothee Cezard* from EMBL-EBI. They are going to talk about the European Variation Archive, a primary open repository for archiving and accessioning genetic variation. Below you can find more details about the webinar and the *NEW zoom link* to attend the webinar. We hope you will join us. Best, Annarita :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Presenters: Dr. Baron Koylass and Dr. Timothe Cezard, EVA/EGA Team, European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) <https://www.ebi.ac.uk/about/teams/ega-eva-archive/> Host: Marcela Karey Tello-Ruiz Abstract: *The European Variation Archive: Genetic variation archiving and accessioning* The European Variation Archive (EVA) is a primary open repository for archiving, accessioning, and distributing genetic variation, including single nucleotide variants, short insertions and deletions (indels), and larger structural variants (SVs) in any species. Created in 2014 to provide FAIR access to genetic variation data, it has since grown to be a primary resource for genomic variants hosting >3 billion records and now maintains and provides the permanent variant locus identifiers (rs IDs) for all non-human species. *| 1P ET | 12P CT | 11A MT | 10A PT |* Find your local time here <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=AgBioData+Monthly…> Topic: AgBioData Monthly Webinar Time: This is a recurring meeting Join Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82038356125?pwd=YVFMRElMdEpHZmtObXFvZlA4QVFXQT09 Meeting ID: 820 3835 6125 Passcode: 160683 One tap mobile +19292056099,,82038356125#,,,,*160683# US (New York) +13017158592,,82038356125#,,,,*160683# US (Washington DC) Dial by your location +1 929 205 6099 US (New York) +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) Meeting ID: 820 3835 6125 Passcode: 160683 Find your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kF3akiFg7

AG2PI Field Day: 2020 AI Institutes

by Scott, Nicole M [AGRON]

Dear AgBioData community members, The next AG2PI Field Day is on Wednesday, February 16 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM (Central Time, UTC-6). This event will feature the directors of the 2020 Artificial Intelligence Research Institutes, Dr. Vikram Adve and Ilias Tagkopoulos, funded by USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). These AI institutes are part of a network of AI institutes established by USDA NIFA and the National Science Foundation to pursue transformational advances in a range of economic sectors, science and engineering fields. Dr. Adve will describe the work of AIFARMS to address major challenges across the agriculture sector, including efficiency and welfare in animal agriculture, environmental resilience in crops and soil health. Dr. Tagkopoulos will discuss the AIFS goal of accelerating critical solutions to the entire food system: from farm to consumer. This discussion will hit themes that are relevant to engineering as well as animal and plant sciences, so we hope you join us for an engaging conversation! We invite you to register for this Zoom event at https://tinyurl.com/AG2PI-FD15, where you will also find additional information. Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the meeting. If you are unable to attend the live session, then you will be able to find a recording at ag2pi.org/<https://www.ag2pi.org/>, at a later date. Please note: you do not need to register to view the recording; it is readily available on the AG2PI website soon after the close of the event (generally within 24 hours). Feel free to share this message and attached flyer with colleagues at your institution.

AG2PI seed grant RFP and informational conference

by Scott, Nicole M [AGRON]

Dear AgBioData community members, A major goal of the Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI<https://ag2pi.org/>) is to bring together agricultural scientists from multiple disciplines to work together in addressing shared challenges in genome-to-phenome research and related endeavors. As such, we provide a seed grant program to foster first steps towards the development of community solutions to research needs and opportunities, as well as gaps in physical infrastructure and the data management pipeline. This third round of the AG2PI seed grant program aims to fund around twelve (12) awards across three levels of support: Emerging (funds up to $50,000), Enabling (up to $75,000), and Establishing (up to $100,000). Applications will be due by 11:59pm CST (UTC-6) on Tuesday, March 8th. The anticipated start date for funded projects is June 1, 2022 and each project may be 6-12 months in duration. Further details regarding the request for proposals, application and review process can be found at the AG2PI website (https://www.ag2pi.org/seed-grants/2022-01-05/). AG2PI will host a Seed Grant Mini-Conference on January 19 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM (CST, UTC-6). This conference will provide an overview of our revised seed grant mechanism and review process, examples of projects that have been funded in previous rounds and will provide an opportunity to ask questions regarding the seed grants. We are excited to also feature a short session on best practices of team science. The conference will finish with a "teaming" event, which will provide a virtual space to discuss your seed grant idea with like-minded researchers with whom you may want to work. Registration is now open (https://www.ag2pi.org/workshops-and-activities/conference-2022-01-19/) and additional details will be available on that webpage soon. Feel free to share this message and opportunity with colleagues at your institution. If you have any questions regarding the mini-conference or seed grants, please direct them to Nicole Scott at nmscott(a)iastate.edu<mailto:nmscott@iastate.edu>.
