Project: NIH GREI - Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative

[cmbz]

Vision

The long-term vision for GREI is to develop collaborative approaches for data management and sharing through inclusion of the generalist repositories in the NIH data ecosystem. GREI also aims to better enable search and discovery of NIH-funded data in the generalist repositories.

Mission

GREI’s mission is twofold. The primary mission is to establish a common set of cohesive and consistent capabilities, services, metrics, and social infrastructure across various generalist repositories. Secondarily, GREI will raise general awareness and help researchers to adopt FAIR principles to better share and reuse data.

Hi @cmbz. About October 2024 updates for GREI 1 objectives, I'm not really involved in this objective. In the GitHub issue, "Conduct a comprehensive internal review of the Generalist Repository Comparison Chart to improve clarity, transparency, and usability" I read that a survey is planned to be sent out in early October. @sbarbosadataverse definitely knows more.

[cmbz]

@jggautier Yes, thanks. I was aware of the survey. But I didn't see a message on the GREI Slack that indicated it had gone out.
