ACTS: From Competition to Collaboration
From Competition to Collaboration: Fostering a Data Sharing Culture for Collaborative Team Science
The Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) at UNC-Chapel Hill is excited to announce the next event from Accelerating Collaborative Team Science (ACTS) — a Team Science educational program.
ACTS functions as a connector, bridging the gap between researchers, coordinating centers, and other parties involved in practicing and promoting collaborative team science theory and practical applications across the scientific research landscape. With twenty years of experience coordinating team science efforts, RENCI provides a unique vantage point for those seeking to understand the role of the coordinating center and the challenges specific to large, geographically dispersed scientific teams.
Brandy Farlow from ACTS will be joined by Heather Barnes, PhD, and Mary Hannah Currin, MS, from RTI, who will address data sharing hesitancy that is common in research. They will highlight work underway in the NIH HEAL Data Ecosystem to engage with NIH HEAL-funded investigators and promote data sharing, exploring practical strategies research data administrators and stewards employ within the HEAL Data Ecosystem to overcome hesitancy and create a culture of data sharing to benefit collaboration and knowledge integration within and across scientific research teams seeking to end the opioid crisis.
