About this Class

This one-hour online training offers an overview of the NIH-sponsored Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI) (Dataverse, Dryad, Figshare, Mendeley Data, Open Science Framework, Vivli, and Zenodo), and the role of participating in these repositories in the NIH data repository landscape for intramural researchers. The session will highlight how these repositories support compliance with the NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy.

By the end of this training, attendees will be able to:  

  • Describe how generalist repositories fit into the NIH data repository landscape for intramural researchers.
  • Understand how these repositories support compliance with the NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy
  • Learn about the resources developed by GREI repositories to support data sharing workflows, including a generalist repository comparison chart, a generalist repository selection flowchart, a data submission checklist, and a data management and sharing plan guide.
  • Gain practical insights from real-world examples, demonstrating  how researchers use generalist repositories for data sharing and reuse, and how these efforts contribute to the broader NIH data sharing ecosystem.

Attendees are not expected to have any prior knowledge of the NIH Data Repository Landscape.
