Shape1 TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Environmental Health Language Collaborative Survey (NIEHS)


PURPOSE:


NIEHS is seeking to foster a community-driven initiative to develop and implement a harmonized environmental health science language. Through a combination of efforts, a proposed mission and structure for the community has been developed. In addition, specific high-level research questions (aka use cases) are also being proposed that could benefit from development of a harmonized language solution. Given this is to be a community-driven initiative, we want to obtain the environmental health sciences community feedback on the proposed community model as well as the research questions. This feedback will be used to shape the agenda of a two-day workshop to be held in September. The workshop, Catalyzing Knowledge-Driven Discovery in Environmental Health Sciences through a Community-Driven Harmonized Language, will be the forum for the community to continue discussions on the community’s goal and governance structure as well as work on defining the use cases and developing solutions to address the use case needs.


DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS:


Respondents may be members of the environmental health sciences community. This community encompasses academia, government, non-profits, and industry. While most respondents will be US-based, we may receive international feedback as well. Respondents may be postdocs, principal investigators, computer scientists, systems developers, toxicologists, regulators, data curators, among many others.
