The long-term goal of the Data Management and Analysis Core (DMAC) is to establish a data science infrastructure that promotes best practices to produce high-quality data that are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR), and that will be easily applicable to other interdisciplinary team projects.<\/p>\n<p>The DMAC\u2019s overall objective is to work closely with all Center project members and equip them with low-cost, user-friendly, FAIR- integrated processes, as well as cutting-edge statistical and computing methods. Guided by the team\u2019s experience, the DMAC has four specific aims.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Develop, coordinate, and monitor a user-friendly, easily- accessible infrastructure and processes for creating, storing, and sharing data and metadata, irrespective of size, both internally and publicly.<\/li>\n<li>Address metadata needs across all STEEP research data products.<\/li>\n<li>Provide integrative methodological and computational support, as well as develop mission-oriented methods.<\/li>\n<li>Develop standards for and provide data quality assurance and quality control (QA\/QC) across STEEP projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The approach is innovative because it departs from the status quo by providing an easy-to- implement, modern, and integrative data management infrastructure that is compliant with all FAIR principles and QA\/QC. It also provides cutting-edge statistical methods (e.g., causal inference, Bayesian, and time series models) to draw mathematically-precise inferences from complex data structures (e.g., non-randomized, longitudinal), and high-performance computing resources. The DMAC\u2019s activities advance and expand the use of FAIR-compliant research in the field of environmental health with the potential to inform policy makers with precise and reliable findings and help reduce the reproducibility crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data Management and Analysis Core Lead: Harrison Dekker, Data Scientist, University of Rhode Island Libraries To understand the link between PFAS exposure and disease, there is a need for data integration from a broad range of scientific disciplines and for researchers to acknowledge the importance of the entire lifecycle of the data in a context [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4786,"featured_media":0,"parent":850,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-17128","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/steep\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/17128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/steep\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/steep\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/steep\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4786"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/steep\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17128"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/steep\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/17128\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17132,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/steep\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/17128\/revisions\/17132"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/steep\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/steep\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
