Decoding the Data Ecosystem Collaborative
The Decoding the Data Ecosystem Collaborative aims to increase interdisciplinary collaboration and meaningful use of CFDE datasets. As our first initiative, we are hosting faculty/student teams (hereafter referred to as mentee teams) from June to August 2025 in a pilot mentoring program. Unlike other student internship programs, this program supports professional development through pairing mentors from a CFDE Data Coordinating Center with our mentee teams. The program intends to provide CFDE mentors and their programs opportunities for more in-depth integration of CFDE data within the academic learning environment through direct engagement with both faculty and students.
Additional Information
Thank you to our mentee teams for their participation in our 2025 pilot program!
Featured datasets for this year’s program
Learn more about mentee team projects at the Decoding the Data Ecosystem Collaborative Virtual Symposium August 27th.
When: August 27, 2025, 12:30 to 5:00 P.M. Eastern
The Decoding the Data Ecosystem Virtual Symposium invites faculty, students, and researchers to explore how the Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE) can support research, education, and discovery in omics-related research. Over the course of an afternoon, explore emerging tools and resources, hear directly from CFDE experts, and discover innovative projects demonstrating how CFDE data can drive discoveries across disciplines. Whether you’re looking to integrate real-world data into your curriculum or discover new research directions, this symposium offers practical insights and community connections to help you get started. The CFDE includes a wide range of diverse and valuable datasets for omics-related research including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and beyond.
