In place of an annual meeting in 2021, the IGAD Coffee Break webinar series worked to transition the Interest Group on Agricultural Data, to the new Improving Global Agricultural Data Community of Practice (CoP), which will provide better alignment with global practice, ability to impact stakeholders via improved data systems and practices, and mutual learning from exchanging experiences. It will also increase opportunities to form partnerships on specific projects. There are individual registration links for each virtual session. Interested participants are encouraged to register for multiple days based on interests and needs. Formed in 2013, the Interest Group on Agricultural Data has grown in community strength to over 200 members, becoming one of the RDA’s most prominent Thematic Groups. IGAD is a domain-oriented group working on all issues related to global agriculture data. It represents stakeholders in managing data for agricultural research and innovation, including producing, aggregating and consuming data. Beyond this, IGAD promotes good practices in research with regard to data sharing policies, data management plans, and data interoperability, and it is a forum for sharing experience and providing visibility to research and work in agricultural data. One of IGAD’s main roles is to serve as a platform that leads to the creation of domain-specific Working Groups. Learn more<https://www.rd-alliance.org/track/click/bfa7943fb05401/e35f397aec1242>.

2022 AgBioData Community Workshop

by Annarita Marrano

Dear AgBioData community members, We’d like to invite you to join the “2022 AgBioData Community Workshop: Facilitating crosstalk and network building across working groups” on March 15–17 (7-9 AM Pacific Time). Anyone who uses, generates, or manages agricultural biological data is encouraged to attend. Hearing about the issues that you encounter when searching for, accessing, and reusing data in your research is very important for developing standards and best practices for FAIR data. Even if you can’t make it all three days, we hope that you can participate. As part of our NSF RCN grant <https://www.agbiodata.org/node/472>, we currently have nine working groups (WGs) focusing on different aspects of data sharing and management in agriculture (more information about the WGs here <https://www.agbiodata.org/all-working-groups>). The goals of this community workshop are: - providing a forum for the individual WGs to communicate what they are working on; - gathering detailed, impactful community feedback on specific questions that the WGs have about data curation, archiving, and management in agriculture. Each day will start with short presentations from selected working groups, followed by breakout sessions, where WG and non-WG members can meet and discuss relevant topics, and a brief reporting period at the end. Register for our community workshop here <https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYtduqqqjsrGdfRHdV8yKhUNHUQBbAeLI…>and for more information on the schedule visit our website <https://www.agbiodata.org/node/475>. Please email us with any questions. Best regards, Annarita

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>.
