Dear AgBioData community,

We are soliciting ideas for new working groups for Year 2 of our NSF Research Coordination Network grant about defining community-based standards of data sharing and management, 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 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 January 11th, 2023. 

Thank you for contributing to AgBioData mission of making agricultural data FAIR!

Best regards,

Annarita Marrano
On Behalf of the AgBioData Steering Committee
