FAQs
Submit Use Case (Closed)The mission of NFDI4Microbiota is to facilitate and stimulate data sharing according to the FAIR principles to ensure easy, open, and efficient access to microbial research data and their associated metadata. An important means to achieve this goal is to implement Use Cases. These are scientific projects in the broad field of microbiology research that are performed at partner and participant institutions with the involvement of one or multiple additional stakeholders (e.g., single institutions, research consortia, societies).
Use Cases should help to:
- Test and fine-tune solutions developed in NFDI4Microbiota based on actual scientific projects and generate actual scientific results or reusable tools.
- Bring the expertise of several stakeholders together to create elaborate solutions that can be easily adapted by other research projects.
- Nurture ideas for the consortium to implement additional measures to address newly detected needs.
NFDI4Microbiota has an overview of currently active Use Cases. The project leads are always welcoming input and contributions to expand and check how relevant their solutions might be to other scientists.
To learn more about the possibility of contributing, check out the “How you can contribute” section of each Use Case that you are thematically interested in. If your profile, interest, and knowledge overlap with what the Use Case project leads seek, you are welcome to contact them directly or use our contact form with the issue type “Use Cases.”
