Help us improve the interoperability of Quaternary databases!

As part of a research study associated with the NSF-funded FAIROS Ethical Open Science for
Past Global Change Research Coordination Network, we are conducting interviews with data
resource users and repository managers to understand use of community-curated data
resources, needs and visions for interoperability of these resources, and data ethics related to
FAIR and CARE principles. The findings from this study will be used to inform technical
improvements to community-curated data resources and development of guidelines to enable
researchers to make their data more interoperable, reproducible, and ethical.

Interviews are anticipated to last 45-60 minutes and will occur via Zoom. Participants will
receive a $25 e-gift card as compensation for their time. If you have further questions or are
interested in setting up a time to participate in this study, please email Dr. Natalie Raia at
nraia@arizona.edu.
