"The National Academy of Sciences Board on Research Data and Information
(BRDI;
www.nas.edu/brdi) is holding an open challenge to increase awareness of
current
issues and opportunities in research data and information. These issues
include, but are not limited to, accessibility, integration,
discoverability,
reuse, sustainability, perceived versus real value and reproducibility.
Opportunities include, but are not limited to, analyzing such data and
information in new ways to achieve significant societal benefit. Entrants
are
expected to describe one or more of the following:

    Novel ideas
    Tools
    Processes
    Models
    Outcomes

using research data and information. There is no restriction on the type of
data or information, or the type of innovation that can be described. All
data
and tools that form the basis of a contestant’s entry must be made freely
and
openly available. The challenge is held in memory of Lee Dirks, a pioneer in
scholarly communication."

Thank you,
