Research Data Alliance Ideate Incubator (RDA-I2) : Conceptualizing an Interdisciplinary Research Framework for Strengthening Community Impact and Advancing an Innovation Platform

研究数据联盟(RDA)是一个全球性组织，提供由研究人员、数据科学家、图书馆员和从业人员组成的社区基础设施，他们在学科内和跨学科工作，以确定和解决数据共享和互操作性方面的重大挑战。该项目通过提供有针对性的社区支持和社区产出的战略性传播，为RDA基础设施增加了孵化器框架，可用于加速数据共享和数据驱动的创新。目标是建立机制，将不同RDA工作组的工作整合和联系起来，并提高RDA成果的可发现性和可用性。该项目包括针对RDA小组主席的试点促进培训计划，以分享战略和战术，以建立更好的努力联系。在快速扩展的组织中，椅子的位置独特，是所有团队成员一致的、可见的领导力存在。通过使主席具备领导更具包容性的会议讨论的技能，从而为许多与会者的知识提供空间，RDA可以更好地利用全体会议将各团体联系起来。该项目的第二个目标是提高区域发展成果的可理解性和可发现性，为更广泛地采用区域发展议程工作做准备。RDA目前记录和跟踪已批准和支持的RDA产出的流程，使其很难捕获与RDA相关的全部工作，包括出版物、海报、讲座、网络研讨会、白皮书和采用案例。制定一项更好地跟踪产出发展和采用情况的战略将增强支持所有小组工作以及在更广泛的科学界内监测、衡量和传播区域发展援助小组产出的影响的能力。此外，加强组织产出的文档记录将提高团队合作和思想交流的能力，因为产出被重复使用并适应其他目的、方法和受众。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Research Data Alliance (RDA) is a global organization providing a community infrastructure of researchers, data scientists, librarians, practitioners who work within and across disciplines to identify and solve grand challenges of data sharing and interoperability. This project augments the RDA infrastructure with an incubator framework that can be used to accelerate data sharing and data-driven innovation, by providing targeted community support and strategic dissemination of community outputs. The goals are to establish mechanisms to integrate and link work across different RDA working groups and improve the discoverability and usability of RDA outputs.The project includes a pilot facilitation training program for RDA group chairs, to share strategies and tactics for building better connections across efforts. In a quickly-scaling organization, the chairs are uniquely placed as a consistent, visible leadership presence for all group participants. By equipping chairs with skills to lead more inclusive session discussions that give space to the knowledge of the many participants, RDA can better leverage the Plenary meetings to connect groups. A second goal of the project is to increase the intelligibility and discoverability of RDA outputs, to prepare for broader adoption of the RDA work. RDA's current process of documenting and tracking approved and supported RDA outputs makes it difficult to capture the full array of work associated with RDA, including publications, posters, lectures, webinars, white-papers, and adoption stories. Developing a strategy to better track output development and adoption would enhance the capability to support all group work and to monitor, measure, and disseminate the impact of RDA group outputs within the wider scientific community. In addition, enhancing the documentation of organizational outputs would improve the ability of group collaboration and cross-fertilization of ideas, as outputs are reused and adapted to additional purposes, methods, and audiences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
