IGERT: Open Data: Graduate Training for Data Sharing and Reuse in E-Science

这一综合性研究生教育和研究培训(IGERT)奖项支持密歇根大学在电子科学中开放数据共享和数据重用的新研究生培训计划。该计划的目的是为数据共享产生新的政策、实践和技术，以加快科学发现的步伐，并将科学知识转化为有用的产品和技术。它将建立在计算机科学和信息科学研究的基础上，确定获取、管理、共享和归档数据的基本原则，并开发新的工具和技术，将这些原则应用于生物信息学和材料研究。该项目将培训一批博士生，让他们以一种新的方式思考开放数据。这些学生将能够向知识库提供高质量的数据，并有效地利用科学研究中的大量数据。来自密歇根州生物信息学、材料科学、化学工程、电气工程和计算机科学以及信息的博士生将被选为IGERT实习生。受训人员将参加一个新的数据管理研究生课程、一个有专家演讲者参加的多学科公开研讨会系列以及短期讲习班。该项目的教职员工还将为本科生开发一个补充的暑期项目，以吸引不同的学生，并加强该项目在其他科学领域的影响。IGERT是一个NSF范围内的项目，旨在应对培养具有跨学科背景、所选学科的深厚知识以及满足未来职业需求所需的技术、专业和个人技能的美国博士科学家和工程师的挑战。该项目旨在通过建立创新的研究生教育和培训新模式，在超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中，催化研究生教育的文化变革。

This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award supports a new graduate training program in open data sharing and data reuse in e-science at the University of Michigan. The purpose of this program is to generate new policies, practices, and technologies for data sharing that will accelerate the pace of scientific discovery and the transfer of scientific knowledge into useful products and technologies. It will build on computer science and information science research that identifies basic principles for acquiring, managing, sharing, and archiving data and for developing new tools and technologies to put these principles into practice in bioinformatics and materials research. The program will train a cohort of doctoral students in a new way of thinking about open data. These students will be capable of contributing high quality data to repositories and effectively leveraging large volumes of data in scientific research. Students from Michigan's doctoral programs in Bioinformatics, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and Information will be selected as IGERT trainees. The trainees will participate in a new graduate course in data curation, a multi-disciplinary public seminar series with expert speakers, and short workshops. Program faculty will also develop a supplemental summer program for undergraduates to attract diverse students and strengthen the program's impact in other scientific fields. IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline, and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.
