Data Standards and Sharing Working Group: Training Task ForceTASK FORCE MISSION:MISSION: The international neuroscience community generates data at many
biological levels and scales. Our mission is to increase the impact of thesedata on science and health by ensuring that community members have accessto training resources that promote data standards, facilitate data sharing, andprovide guidance for obtaining and analyzing these data sets.

Data Standards and Sharing Working Group: Training Task ForceGOALS:●Help develop training materials for resources and initiatives associated withIBI Data Standards and Sharing WG activities such as best practices fordata standards and data sharing.

●

Facilitate novel high-quality online, interactive training resources for datarelated workflows that span multiple brain initiatives.

●Coordinate Train the Trainer activities that develop or share training
resources for neuroscience data curators based in each IBI member
country, who can then lead training efforts in their own country.

●Share information about career paths related to data standards and sharing.
