Reminder: Submit Your Comments to FFAR's Data Solutions RFI

by Annarita Marrano

Reminder: Submit Your Comments to FFAR's Data Solutions for Accelerating Climate-Smart Agriculture RFI The deadline to submit comments for the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research's <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GAa_LcL_8Sp6F64…> (FFAR) Request for Information <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GAa_LcL_8Sp6F64…> (RFI) that supports advancing data solutions to accelerate climate-smart agriculture adoption is December 21, 2022. FFAR is issuing a RFI to explore investments that can increase the use of FAIR <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GAa_LcL_8Sp6F64…> (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data in agricultural research, with a specific emphasis on climate-smart mitigation and adaptation research related to the AgMission <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GAa_LcL_8Sp6F64…>™ initiative. With sufficient volume of relevant standardized and interoperable data, agricultural sciences can apply advanced data analytics to address the challenges facing agricultural producers. FFAR encourages comments from scientists studying agricultural systems and agronomic practices, experts in agricultural data or privacy, developers of metric and digital tools to support on-farm decision-making, and developers and managers of digital data repositories with agricultural and environmental data. For more information, and to respond to this RFI, visit the Data Solutions for Accelerating Climate-Smart Agriculture Open Opportunity RFI webpage. <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GAa_LcL_8Sp6F64…> ### Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research The Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GAa_LcL_8Sp6F64…> (FFAR) builds public-private partnerships to fund bold research addressing big food and agriculture challenges. FFAR was established in the 2014 Farm Bill to increase public agriculture research investments, fill knowledge gaps and complement USDA’s research agenda. FFAR’s model matches federal funding from Congress with private funding, delivering a powerful return on taxpayer investment. Through collaboration and partnerships, FFAR advances actionable science benefiting farmers, consumers and the environment.

AgBioData monthly webinar - Tomorrow!

by Annarita Marrano

Hi everybody, This is a friendly reminder of our webinar tomorrow (*December 7th).* We will have Sushma Naithani <http://naithanilab.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/> from Oregon State University talking about Plant Reactome <https://plantreactome.gramene.org/index.php?lang=en>, a platform that allows the integration of OMICs data for the biocuration of plant genes and pathways. Below you can find more details about the webinar and the zoom link to attend the webinar. We hope you will join us. Best, Annarita :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Presenters: Dr. Sushma Naithani, Oregon State University Host: Dr. Monica Poelchau Abstract: *Plant Reactome: Using OMICs data for biocuration of plant genes and pathways* The major challenge in analyzing and connecting genotype to phenotype data at the organismal level is their integration and visualization for knowledge synthesis, which is required for generating OMICs data-driven predictive models for precision breeding of crops as well as accessing the needs of conservation of biodiversity and long-term sustainability. The Plant Reactome (https://plantreactome.gramene.org) is one such platform that allows integration of data from heterogeneous sources (i.e., published literature, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome data, orthology-based projections) for synthesizing in silico modeling of system-level plant pathway networks including metabolic pathways, biological processes associated with plant development and reproduction, and genetic-regulatory mechanisms that mediate plant survival under varied stress conditions. It provides a valuable framework for understanding how a gene, a group of connected genes, or genotypic differences culminate into a phenotype and supports the generation of data-driven hypotheses for understanding the intra-and -inter-species differences for basic and translational research and precision breeding. Here, we emphasize our recent efforts in using Omics data for improving gene/gene family functional annotations and biocuration of gene-gene networks. *| 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 Meet anytime 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) +1 305 224 1968 US +1 309 205 3325 US +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 646 931 3860 US +1 253 205 0468 US +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 360 209 5623 US +1 386 347 5053 US +1 507 473 4847 US +1 564 217 2000 US +1 669 444 9171 US +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) +1 689 278 1000 US +1 719 359 4580 US Meeting ID: 820 3835 6125 Passcode: 160683 Find your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kF3akiFg7

LAST WEEK to JOIN the New AgBioData working groups!!

by Annarita Marrano

Hi everybody, If you haven't done yet, you are still on time to *join the new AgBioData working groups*! They will focus on and address* data-related issues and priorities* raised by the AgBioData community, such as - data federation training - data reuse - database financial sustainability - diversity, equity, and inclusion in ag research - FAIR scientific literature and biocuration - public genetic resources management Each working group has a set of achievable goals and deliverables and has a *6-12 month duration* (except for the *Sustainability*, *FAIR Scientific Literature*, and *DEI Recruiting* working groups, which will have a 2-year mandate with the possibility for their members to rotate off after a year). We anticipate that the commitment will generally be *between 2-6 hours per month*, including meeting attendance and offline work (e.g., literature, writing, etc.). This is your opportunity to shape the future of our research community by contributing to developing best practices of data archiving and management that can benefit you and all the other stakeholders. Participating in the AgBioData working groups will also offer you opportunities for - *professional networking* - *leadership skill development* - *authorship in impactful manuscripts* Please join one or more of our working groups here <https://forms.gle/ue662FBGLXaVyY1eA>, or share with anybody that can be interested! Best regards, Annarita
