Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Not applicable to patients directly; the grant supports researchers and data resources within the MSU Superfund program.
✕Less likely to help
Patients may not directly benefit from this core, as it focuses on data infrastructure rather than a clinical intervention.
What this research studies
The Data Management and Analysis Core (DMAC) partners with MSU SRC researchers to build a center-wide data commons and implement a robust data management plan. It emphasizes data quality, interoperability, and reproducibility through FAIR principles and standardized metadata. The DMAC uses ISA frameworks and ontologies to capture data and metadata from various projects, enabling easier exploration, visualization, and analysis. By coordinating data sharing with other centers and stakeholders, it aims to translate findings into practice that protects communities from toxic exposures. This work is embedded within MSU’s Superfund research program and supports ongoing data-driven decision making.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this core could accelerate discovery and translation by making high-quality environmental health data easier to access and reuse.
How similar studies have gone: Data management and FAIR-compliant data sharing approaches have been beneficial in previous environmental health research and translational efforts.
