Advancing Rigorousness and Reproducibility for High Throughput Data

生殖是良好科学的基础，在许多科学研究中缺乏， 约会这减缓了研究的进展，对生物学、健康、监管和 医学挑战大规模分析质量控制协会（MAQC Society） 提高了高通量数据的重现性和严谨性。的目标 MAQC协会的宗旨是讨论、研究和鼓励可重复的科学和质量控制 用于分析源自新兴技术的大型数据集。为了促进讨论， 目前的研究，并培养下一代可再生的科学家，MAQC社会 有一个年度会议。过去三次都很成功，吸引了150-200名国内 国际与会者在学术界、政府和 私营部门所有与会者都接触到一系列对FDA和NCTR重要的研究。 由于我们出席的多样性，我们的年度会议有助于与会者建立网络， 部门，并设立跨职能项目，以询问和推进可复制的科学。 这个协会高度重视培养有前途的科学家。MAQC协会感到自豪 看到这么多学生和博士后参加。每年的议程都有一个 海报会议以及一个“闪电回合”的抽象选择的介绍。除了 下一代，MAQC协会会议吸引了可重复的关键意见领袖。由于 参加年会的小型会议，新科学家有机会 和这些高级领导人混在一起继续我们的使命，创建一个社区论坛 为了进行介绍和讨论，MAQC协会正在申请未来5年的资金， 两会这笔资金将用于支持主题演讲的差旅和住宿费用 演讲者，学生海报和颁奖典礼，学生旅行赠款，以及与学生有关的 会议活动和研讨会围绕着对可再生科学很重要的主题。

Reproducibility is a fundamental to good science, and is lacking in many scientific studies to date. This slows the progress of research positively impacting biological, health, regulatory, and medical challenges. The Massive Analysis Quality Control Society (MAQC Society) seeks to enhance reproducibility and rigorousness specifically of high throughput data. The objective of the MAQC Society is to discuss, study, and encourage reproducible science and quality control for analysis of large datasets originating from emerging technologies. To foster discussions, present research, and train the next generation of reproducible scientists, the MAQC Society has an annual meeting. The past three have been very successful, attracting 150-200 domestic and international attendees split roughly equally between academia, government, and the private sector. All attendees are exposed to a range of research important to FDA and NCTR. Due to our diversity of attendance, our annual meeting helps attendees network, discuss across sectors, and set up cross-functional projects to interrogate and advance reproducible science. This society is highly focused on training up and coming scientists. The MAQC Society is proud to see that many students and postdoctoral fellows attend. Every year, the agenda features a poster session as well as a “lightning round” of abstract selected presentations. In addition to the next generation, MAQC Society meetings attract reproducibility key opinion leaders. Owing to the small conference of the annual conference, newer scientists have the opportunity to mingle with these senior leaders. To continue with our mission of creating a community forum for presentation and discussion, the MAQC Society is applying for funding for the next 5 annual conferences. This funding will support travel and accommodation expenses for keynote speakers, student poster and presentation awards, student travel grants, and student-related conference activities, and workshops around topics important to reproducible science.
