For Action
Ongoing
Invitation for Heads of Nodes to review the ELIXIR Communities Review Assessment Criteria, as presented at the HoN TC in December 2021.
Heads of Nodes are asked to review the Communities Review - Outcomes Form (including Assessment Criteria) no later than Friday, 4 March 2022, by adding any additions in suggestion mode. If you have any concrete questions or concerns, feel free to add or contact Katharina Heil (katharina.heil@elixir-europe.org).
ELIXIR plans to conduct internal review of ELIXIR Communities when they reach a certain level of maturity. The purpose of the review is to highlight the outcomes and success of the Community and also to identify any areas where the Communities may be supported. The Communities Review - Outcomes Form captures the planned process and upon review by the Heads of Nodes, the process will be initiated later in 2022.
For Information
Future call topics in Innovative Health Initiative
The very high-level call topic descriptions for the first calls in Innovative Health Initiative have been published. This corresponding information event on the IHI website may be of interest.
If you have any questions, please contact Andrew Smith (andrew.smith@elixir-europe.org).
The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued a Request for Information on Proposed Updates and Long-Term Considerations for the NIH Genomic Data Sharing Policy. The deadline is Monday, 28 February 2022. We would like to inform the Nodes that on this occasion, the Hub will not coordinate an ELIXIR-wide response, yet ELIXIR Nodes who are funded through NIH grants are welcome to submit a response. The NIH is particularly keen to avoid conflict with existing NIH policies.
For any questions, please contact Corinne Martin (corinne.martin@elixir-europe.org).
