On behalf of the SGV WG
Hi everybody,
We just started Year 2 of our NSF RCN grant of FAIR data in
agricultural research and are initiating *six new working groups around
data-related issues and priorities* raised by the AgBioData community.
Each working group currently 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

Dear AgBioData community members,
USDA NIFA recently awarded Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI<https://ag2pi.org/>) additional money to continue our seed grant program. We will be funding 6-8 proposals that address challenges in genome-to-phenome research and promise to move the science and community forward. These awards are larger than previous AG2PI seed grants (up to $250,000), which we term "coconut seed grants" in recognition of their scaled-up size, and are intended to support new or "next step" research as well as community-focused endeavors. High-risk/high-reward proposals will be considered.
Applications will be due by 11:59pm CST (UTC-6) on Friday, January 6th. The anticipated start date for funded projects is March 1, 2023 and each project may be up to 12 months in duration. Further details regarding the request for proposals, application and review process can be found on the AG2PI website (https://www.ag2pi.org/seed-grants/coconut-seed-grant-2022-10-28/). Note: Lead proposer(s) must be primarily affiliated with an institution or organization that is eligible for a USDA award.
Available resources:
* Previously funded seed grants (narratives & deliverables): https://www.ag2pi.org/resources/ag2pi-funded-seed-grants/
* Lightning talks on previously funded projects: https://www.ag2pi.org/workshops-and-activities/field-day-2022-09-21/
* Mini-conferences on previous seed grant RFPs (note: not all information provided in these mini-conferences is applicable to the current RFP): https://www.ag2pi.org/workshops-and-activities/conference-2022-01-19/ or https://www.ag2pi.org/workshops-and-activities/conference-2021-08-12/

Presenters: Dr. Jennifer Cross, Colorado State University
Host: Prof. John McNamara
Abstract:
*Science of Team Science: Using Developmental Evaluation to Advance
Transdisciplinary Teams and Evolve Science.*
For the past 20 years or more, science has been evolving to answer more
complex questions, which require more complex teams. While scientists are
eager to engage with diverse colleagues, academic institutions are slow to
change and present a variety of barriers to advancing science. I will
explore how the field “science of team science” has been growing and how
team assessment, evaluation, and coaching can help teams become more
effective. Case studies of interdisciplinary teams will be shared to
illustrate how developmental evaluation and assessment can help accelerate
team growth, and overcome institutional and infrastructural challenges and
barriers.

Dear AgBioData community,
You are still on time to suggest *new working groups for **Year 2 *of
our NSF Research
Coordination Network <http://agbiodata.org/node/487> grant about defining
community-based data sharing and management standards and promoting an
equitable and sustainable data ecosystem in agriculture.
As the technologies and approaches for generating, analyzing, and curating
data keep evolving, new issues and priorities related to data sharing
arise. *We would like to know from you what these priorities are and how we
can address them in new AgBioData working groups*.
Please share your feedback and suggestions through *this Google form
<https://forms.gle/nnGdXhfoTR64z3Ru9>* by *October 28th*!
After we have received your working group ideas, the steering committee
will 1) decide on the working group roster for year 2 and 2) launch the
participant sign-up for the working groups of Year 2. We anticipate that
the new working groups will start on January 11th, 2023.
Thank you for contributing to AgBioData's mission of making agricultural
data FAIR!

Hi everybody,
This is a gentle reminder of tomorrow's webinar with *Chris Mungall
<https://bids.berkeley.edu/people/chris-mungall>* from the Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory. He will provide a practical guide on Gene
Ontology <http://geneontology.org/> and how to use it for functional
annotation in plants and animals.
Below you can find more details about the webinar and the zoom link to
attend the webinar.
We hope you will join us.

Host: Dr. Tanya Berardini
Abstract:
*The Gene Ontology: Making functional annotation of plants and animals
FAIR.*
The Gene Ontology is one of the most widely used databases in the
biosciences, covering functional annotation of genes and gene products
across a wide range of species. The GO is ubiquitously used to analyse a
variety of types of high-throughput experimental data. Originally created
to unify functional annotation across a handful of model organism
databases, the GO has grown to encompass more species, and the structure of
the GO has been extended to integrate with other ontologies such as CHEBI
and the Plant Ontology. The structure of annotations has also evolved, and
the GO now includes more expressive pathway-oriented annotations in the
form of GO-CAMs (Causal Activity Models). In this talk I will give a
practical guide to the structure of GO, how to find and request terms, how
to search and create annotations, and how to use GO tools. I will also talk
about how the broader AgBioData can contribute to the GO consortium to help
seed functional annotation efforts in a more diverse range of organisms,
and in particular with agriculturally relevant species.
