| The NIH announces the release of a Request for Information (RFI) on metrics for assessing value of biomedical data repositories: Request for Information (RFI): Metrics to Assess Value of Biomedical Digital Repositories (NOT-OD-16-133) Biomedical repositories preserve, manage, and provide access to many types of digital materials in a variety of formats. Materials in online repositories are often curated to enable search, discovery, and reuse. Managers, users, and funders of these repositories are interested in assessing and communicating their impact. A systematic approach and well-understood metrics, that may be quantitative or qualitative in nature, are needed to determine impact. This RFI seeks input on metrics to assess the value and impact of biomedical data repositories. This information will support development of best practices across repositories, communication about the usage and value of repositories, and decisions required to support long-term sustainability. The NIH solicits feedback from a broad swath of repository stakeholders, including researchers, data scientists and curators, repository managers, and standards or tool developers. The receipt deadline for submission is September 30, 2016. |
