The Office of Knowledge Enterprise’s BIIG Collaborations is a series of activities designed to provide faculty with the resources and support needed to establish and cultivate collaborations across disciplines, and explore innovative research questions. The program kicks off with two events to begin to forge collaborative interdisciplinary teams seeking to innovate around a common research theme. BIIG Teams can also apply for an Interdisciplinary Innovation Team Development Award that provides up to $5,000 to further define and refine budding interdisciplinary collaborations that are poised to tackle complex problems.

Introduction to the new NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy (Virtual Event)
Join us for an introduction to the new NIH Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy which will go into effect on January 25, 2023. This policy will apply to all new funding applications on or after this date and requires that applicants include a DMS plan as part of their application materials. Compliance with the submitted and accepted plan will be assessed, and non-compliance can impact future funding.
This informational session will provide an introduction to the policy, as well as the tools and resources provided by Ohio State to help you.
Topics to be covered include:
- How the DMPTool can help you address the required elements of a DMS plan
- Tips for identifying a suitable repository
- Guidance on how to budget for data-related costs
- Who on campus can help with questions
This workshop is ideal for researchers who currently receive NIH funding or may apply in the future, as well as staff who support NIH-funded researchers. Register today for the October 19th session (10:00-11:00)!
Can’t make the workshop? Check out the NIH DMS Policy Guide[https://hslguides.osu.edu/nih-dmsp] for the latest updates, including the slides from this session.
Team Science Workshop (Virtual)
As research becomes more interdisciplinary, it is crucial that researchers are able to work effectively with investigators, colleagues, and others from other disciplines. “Team Science” is the study and application of principles and strategies to develop, lead, and manage groups of people as part of a research project/team. This series of online workshops will focus on preparing post-doctoral researchers to both participate in and lead interdisciplinary research teams. Participants will learn how to develop a team collaboration plan that can serve as a template for building systems in their future labs and for multi-PI and leadership plans for future grant proposal. The sessions will be a mix of short didactic and interactive activities, with the goal of increasing participants’ knowledge of and comfort with engaging in Interdisciplinary Research and Team Science.
Research Misconduct & Detrimental Research Practices Webinar
What is research misconduct and how do you distinguish it from detrimental research practices? Research Integrity Officers from HHS and NIH will help answer this question and more, as they discuss regulations, an institution’s responsibilities, and ways to avoid misconduct in research at all! Experts will explore interpersonal, institutional, and professional responsibilities in the overall ethical conduct of research during presentations, case studies, and discussions with the audience.
QualLab Lunch: IRBs and Research Site Anonymity as Methodological Interest Convergence (Virtual)
Please join us for QualLab’s virtual lunch talk with Dr. Michael W. Moses II, Assistant Professor of Higher Education and Qualitative Methods at the University of California, Riverside’s School of Education, on the topic of IRBs and research site anonymity as methodological interest convergence.

NSF Convergence Accelerator Request for Information – Webinar
Requesting Future Topics for the NSF Convergence Accelerator
Learn about the Dear Colleague Letter (NSF 22-021) /Request For Information (DCL/RFI) and the program’s ideation process. Attendees will learn about the Convergence Accelerator’s model and fundamentals, designed to leverage a convergence approach to transition basic research and discovery into practice. The NSF will explain how the Convergence Accelerator’s ideation process is an opportunity to think big to address current and future national and societal challenges. This enables participants to shape their topic ideas around the NSF’s criteria and will help guide their experience in the ideation phase of the program.
NSF is offering the webinar on two days to accommodate researchers and innovators from all fields:
Webinar Dates/Times:
January 20, 2022, from 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET
January 25, 2022, from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. ET
