FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable data) seminar: February 2026

FAIR data: Data curation and harmonization, data repositories, unbiased big data analytics Experimental Design and Statistical Methodology. The purpose of this training is to introduce the trainees and their mentors to FAIR data principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable data). The NIH’s Strategic Vision for Data Science is moving rapidly towards a FAIR-data ecosystem, and in the near future it will become a requirement to deposit data funded by government agencies in a data repository upon publication. These workshops will examine the fundamentals and concepts behind FAIR data principles, how to curate and harmonize data so that it can be reused and shared globally, statistical concepts that are being developed to analyze large and unsmoothed/incomplete merged datasets, and the power of these approaches in unearthing targets and advancing treatments for neural injury. The training is for both trainees and mentors.
