[Nheri-council] Meeting to discuss joint DesignSafe-EF activities

[Rathje, Ellen M]

Hi all:

I was hoping to mention this during the call today, but we ran out of time.  So here it goes...

When DesignSafe was first awarded 5 years ago, we took the initiative to visit each EF to learn more about your data, processes, etc.  That was a useful exercise that helped us as we developed the Data Depot and data models over our first few years.

Since our visits with you in ~ 2016, our interactions with you have predominantly been through the NHERI Council meetings.  These meetings have been useful, but have focused on the broader activities of the network.  To deepen the collaborations between DesignSafe and the EFs, we would like to identify joint activities that will be beneficial to all of us and will expand our impact.  For example, we could organize "Publish your Data!" events for each EF, similar to the event we did with CONVERGE just this week.

Towards that end, we would like to organize a meeting that includes the leadership teams (PIs/co-PIs) of DesignSafe and the EFs where we can brainstorm ideas for these activities.  Please be on the look out for a request from Natalie Henriques to indicate your availability during this Fall for a meeting.  And feel free to email me if you have any specific thoughts or questions.

Thanks,
Ellen
