Collaborative Research: Disciplinary Improvements for Past Global Change Research: Connecting Data Systems and Practitioners

地球科学界的桥梁，使用各种各样的古气候，地球化学，古生物学和考古记录的各种研究领域。 该研究协调网络支持研究人员团体跨学科，组织，地理和国际边界进行沟通，创新，协调和标准化研究实践，培训和教育活动。 在古生态学，当代生态学，古气候学和考古学学科的社区策展数据资源（CCDR）将通过三个目标得到改善：1）通过制定长尾CCDR之间的互操作性指南和促进采用通用元数据标准和FAIR，提高互操作性和可重复性（可查找性、可访问性、互操作性和可重用性）数据原则，2）通过推广数据科学、策展和管理方面的最佳实践来促进数据策展和管理，特别是对于早期职业研究人员，3）通过促进学科数据资源中CARE（集体利益，控制权，责任和道德）原则的学习和实施，支持公平，改善民主化和科学获取。实践社区将通过年度现场研讨会和项目活动（包括研讨会、工作组会议和网络研讨会）来进一步实现这些目标。该奖项由高级网络基础设施办公室颁发，并得到地球科学理事会的共同支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The geoscience community bridges a variety of research areas which use a wide variety of paleoclimatic, geochemical, paleobiological, and archaeological records. This research coordination network supports groups of investigators to communicate, innovate, coordinate, and standardize research practices, training, and educational activities across disciplinary, organizational, geographic and international boundaries. Community curated data resources (CCDRs) in the paleoecological, contemporary ecological, paleoclimatic, and archeological disciplines will be improved through three aims: 1) Improving interoperability and reproducibility by developing guidance for interoperability among long-tail CCDRs and promoting adoption of common metadata standards and FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) data principles, 2) Fostering data curation and stewardship by promoting best practices in data science, curation, and stewardship, particularly for early-career researchers, 3) Supporting equity and improving democratization and access to science by promoting the learning and implementation of CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, and Ethics) principles in disciplinary data resources. Communities of practice will be developed to further these aims through annual in-person symposia and project activities including workshops, working group meetings, and webinars.This award by the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure is jointly supported by the Directorate for Geosciences.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.
