This online training introduces key principles and practical approaches to Research Data Management (RDM) in biomedical and health research. Participants will explore the research data lifecycle, FAIR Data Principles, metadata and documentation, data quality, sharing and reuse, and common challenges in managing sensitive and heterogeneous health research data.

At its meeting on July 10, the Joint Science Conference (GWK) adopted a new federal-state agreement (BLV) for the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). This agreement defines the funding and future structure of NFDI starting in 2029. The federal and state governments intend to continue funding NFDI with up to 98.7 million euros per year from 2029 to 2038.

Vera Clemens, a software developer working on the NFDI4Health project, has become the first female external developer from Europe to be in the Core Team of Harvard University’s Dataverse Project. In an interview, she discusses the background of the Dataverse initiative, her new role, and the opportunities it offers for a FAIR research data landscape.

The new webinar series on Secure Processing Environments (SPEs) examines the future of secure data analysis in health research. NFDI4Health invites you to the fourth session "Steps to Bring Data into an SPE: Data Catalogue and Metadata FAIRification".

The National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) is entering a new phase: with long-term funding from the German federal and state governments, disciplinary priorities will increasingly be brought together in the future. The BioMed consortia are now jointly advocating for a dedicated biomedical domain.

At the Conference on Social and Economic Data (KSWD) in Berlin, discussions focused on the future of research data access in Germany. Key topics included secure infrastructures, improved data linkage, and new legal frameworks. NFDI4Health contributed its perspective to the debate.
