Yet in spite of the benefits open-source data offers, there are many challenges to overcome - including cultural, economic, legal, ethical and technological barriers - before the research community can accelerate the use of this information to improve global health. To explore these barriers and possible solutions to overcoming them, Mike Huerta of NLM/NIH joins T. Scott Plutchak of the University of Alabama at Birmingham and University of British Columbia early career researcher, Shreejoy Tripathy, in discussing the underlying issues from their perspectives as funder, administrator and researcher. By attending this 90-minute webinar, attendees will better understand: ? How researchers in the medical and life sciences community think about data sharing ? How researchers and institutions determine what data should be shared ? The existing barriers to data sharing ? The role of trust in incentivizing data sharing across sectors ? Concerns surrounding the management, curation, and preservation of data ? The emergence of data as publication output Join us on Monday, September 14, 2015 to examine the management of research data, and explore new insights and solutions to overcoming the challenges of sharing data. ________________________________ To register or learn more about this event, go to http://www.nfais.org/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=72&eventId=483733&orgId=nfais.
