RESOURCE DISCOVERY Community Core

 

VALUE AND VISION

As catalysts of research, CTSA hubs need to preserve and disseminate a wide range of research works,  enhancing their visibility and opportunity for sharing and reuse. CTSA hubs also need to promote people and their expertise, supporting attribution of their diverse and non-traditional contributions.  We aim to create and enhance tools and information resources that empower the CTSA hubs to find and share them more easily.

COMMUNITY CORE OBJECTIVES

  • Explore current resources sourced from the CTSA program and beyond
  • Use translational workforce personas to inform local and consortium resource development
  • Use attribution tools to help credit a wide range of activities in translation 
  • Adopt open software to securely support sharing, preservation, credit, and discovery for data sets and a range of other scholarly products and activities
  • Adopt data models to promote access, indexing, and discoverability of a wide range of resources, such as training, research, and engagement materials

GET INVOLVED             

PHASE III:

InvenioRDM: A Next-Generation Repository for Research Data Management: Continuation of a Phase II project to complete the development of a born-interoperable repository and data catalog designed to empower researchers as they engage in good data practices around research data management, licensing, preservation, credit, discovery, and reuse of digital artifacts.

Resource Discovery Core Information Architecture: This ongoing core infrastructure project creates an aggregated warehouse of resource information (expertise, services, documents, educational materials, etc.) The resource information will be made available to the CTSA community in a variety of forms, including a search tool and widgets for CTSA hub websites to enable regional discovery and dissemination.

CONTINUING & PHASE II:

  

We are actively seeking community members to drive requirements, use our stuff, and help build out a rich translational infrastructure.

Core Community Meetings occur the last Thursday of the month (10 am PT/12 pm CT/1 pm ET) and are the primary mechanism to engage.  (Contact data2health@gmail.com for meeting invitation.)
