2024 DataWorks! Prize

National Institutes of Health

The DataWorks! Prize recognizes the impactful role of data reuse on human health. Through the 2024 Prize, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will recognize and reward research teams who propose and execute innovative secondary analysis and data reuse to generate novel scientific findings and create a valuable set of case studies and examples that can be used by the broader research community.

The 2024 DataWorks! Prize is a collaboration with the seven generalist repositories participating in the NIH-funded Generalist Repositories Ecosystem Initiative (GREI) and will focus on best practices in data reuse and secondary analysis that advance human health. Participants will participate in a two-phase challenge. In the first phase, research teams will submit a proposal for a secondary analysis research project that can be completed within a 6 month period and incorporates data from one or more generalist repositories participating in the GREI ( more information on GREI ); data from other repositories can be combined. In the second phase, selected teams will complete their reuse/secondary analysis research projects and share their findings publicly.

The 2024 DataWorks! Prize strives to demonstrate the value of existing data sets and data reuse practices in biomedical research. At the conclusion of the Prize, awarded projects will be featured through a number of activities and communication venues. The 2024 DataWorks! Prize will include up to 10 team awards. Submissions will undergo an expert review, with final awards selected by a panel of NIH officials. Winning teams will be recognized with a cash prize, and will be invited to participate in future DataWorks! Program opportunities.
