As part of this commitment, the NMDC has established the [FAIR Microbiome Implementation Network](https://www.go-fair.org/implementation-networks/overview/fair-microbiome/) (IN), a consortium interested in microbiome research that has agreed upon a set of objectives and common vision for implementing FAIR principles in the context of microbiome data science. +The NMDC is committed to adhering to [FAIR Guiding Principles](https://www.nature.com/articles/sdata201618) with regard to data management best practices. We have previously worked to develop the [FAIR Microbiome Implementation Network](https://www.go-fair.org/implementation-networks/overview/fair-microbiome/) (IN) to align and synergize our efforts with that of the [GO FAIR](https://www.go-fair.org/) community. Through the FAIR Microbiome IN, we were able to connect with the international microbiome standards community to advance our collective mission. We are also registered with [FAIRsharing](https://fairsharing.org/biodbcore-001563/), which provides journals with a curated source of recommended repositories. -The FAIR Microbiome IN seeks to align and synergize the efforts of the NMDC with that of the [GO FAIR](https://www.go-fair.org/) community, leveraging the [GO FAIR](https://www.go-fair.org/) open and inclusive [ecosystem of Implementation Networks](https://www.go-fair.org/implementation-networks/overview/) for the microbiome research community (e.g., [Chemistry IN](https://www.go-fair.org/implementation-networks/overview/chemistryin/), [Metabolomics IN](https://www.go-fair.org/implementation-networks/overview/metabolomics/), Biodiversites INs). The purpose of the FAIR Microbiome IN is to work with microbiome research communities to: +Our latest efforts include: -* Formalize core and domain-specific microbiome ontologies that promote discovery and reuse, and -* Establish training on the NMDC data models that allow for broader dissemination of knowledge and compliance for both humans and machines. +1. Developing the NMDC FAIR Implementation Profile (FIP) which outlines our technology choices for implementing each of the FAIR Guiding Principles. Check out the NMDC [FIP](https://fip-wizard.ds-wizard.org/wizard/projects/531496b9-4f8d-4d20-88be-fa5595056508)! -The NMDC is working across research teams, funders, publishers, and societies/consortiums to provide training and community engagement on data standards, a key component to making data FAIR. For example, the NMDC is a registered database with [FAIRsharing](https://fairsharing.org/biodbcore-001563/), which provides journals with a curated source of recommended repositories. The NMDC is also a member of ORCID, and registered with the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), which enables the NMDC to assign Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to any data set submitted and processed through the NMDC workflows. - -Additional FAIR-related efforts will be updated as the NMDC pilot continues to be developed. - -Reference: Wilkinson, M., Dumontier, M., Aalbersberg, I. et al.

Working with the broader research community to develop reporting guidelines for environmental microbiomes. The Standards for Technical Reporting in Environmental and host-Associated Microbiome Studies ([STREAMS](https://streamsmicrobiome.org/)) guidelines are being written based on the ([STORMS](https://www.stormsmicrobiome.org/)) reporting checklist. The STREAMS guidelines will provide standardized checklists to assist environmental, non-human host, and synthetic microbiome researchers with writing manuscripts and data management plans. Keep an eye out for updates this year!
