The CFDE Program Team is pleased to announce we will be holding the annual CFDE Program Meeting on June 9-10, 2022 at the Bethesdan Hotel in Bethesda, MD. The purpose of this meeting is to bring the CFDE community together to review progress over the past year and discuss strategic issues that impact the ecosystem as a whole. At this time, we are striving for an all in-person meeting. You can find details about the event including registration, travel recommendations, and booking links at our 2022 June All-Hands Meeting Website or you can click here to book a hotel room now. Discounted room rates are available until May 20.
Our next scheduled meeting will take place June 7th at 11am PT / 2pm ET. Regular Cross-Pollination events take place on the first Tuesday of every month. Please check out the Cross-Pollination Schedule for more details. Please let us know at [email protected] if you have something to share!
The next data submission deadline for the CFDE Portal will be June 15. All groups who would like to update their data must submit and approve it by this deadline. If you would not like to update or submit new data, no action is required on your part. Previously submitted data will be included in this data release.

The LINCS DCIC published a paper in the 2022 webserver issue of Nucleic Acid Research (https://academic.oup.com/nar/advance-article/doi/10.1093/nar/gkac328/6582159?login=false) describing the SigCom LINCS web portal (https://maayanlab.cloud/sigcom-lincs/#/). SigCom LINCS serves over a million gene expression signatures processed, analyzed, and visualized from LINCS, GTEx, and GEO. It is built with Signature Commons (https://github.com/MaayanLab/signature-commons), a cloud-agnostic skeleton Data Commons with a focus on serving searchable signatures. SigCom LINCS is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) with metadata linked to standard ontologies and vocabularies. In addition, all the data and signatures within SigCom LINCS are available via a well-documented API (https://smart-api.info/registry?q=sigcom).
The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) the National Institutes of Health are championing a bold vision of data sharing and reuse. The DataWorks! Prize fuels this vision with an annual challenge that showcases the benefits of research data management while recognizing and rewarding teams whose research demonstrates the power of data sharing and reuse practices to advance scientific discovery and human health. They are seeking new and innovative approaches to data sharing and reuse in biological and biomedical research. The 2022 DataWorks! Prize will distribute up to $500,000 in awards.
