“Recent mandates by funders and governments call for sharing all research data in an effort to increase efficiencies, improve lives, accelerate the pace of discovery, and drive more equitable outcomes across every sector of society,” said Tracey Armstrong, President and CEO, CCC. “FAIR data principles emphasize machine-actionability and are essential for effective use of AI and managing the increasing volume and complexity of data.”
