The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Common Fund cultivates large, publicly available biomedical and behavioral datasets. These data sets are used by the research and medical community to make new discoveries or generate new hypotheses. The Common Fund hosted a Community Engagement Workshop on July 24 - 25 that offered a collaborative environment where leaders from diverse scientific backgrounds identified barriers to using data.
The workshop included presentations and discussions to:
- Facilitate accessibility, inclusivity, and culturally relevant data research practices.
- Discuss challenges and opportunities within the biomedical and behavioral fields to learn what outreach, training, and support can be provided to their communities.
- Understand how data policy impacts historically underserved communities.
- Understand data challenges and barriers to data use.
