Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI)

The Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI) is a U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) initiative which has brought seven generalist repositories together into a collaborative working group focused on establishing “a common set of cohesive and consistent capabilities, services, metrics, and social infrastructure” and increasing awareness and adoption of the FAIR principles.

Project Goals

The long-term vision for GREI is to develop collaborative approaches for data management and sharing through inclusion of the generalist repositories in the NIH data ecosystem. GREI also aims to better enable search and discovery of NIH-funded data in the generalist repositories.

Deliverables

GREI’s mission is twofold. The primary mission is to establish a common set of cohesive and consistent capabilities, services, metrics, and social infrastructure across various generalist repositories. Secondarily, GREI will raise general awareness and help researchers to adopt FAIR principles to better share and reuse data.

Work products are available at the GREI-community and there is more on our collaborative work at the GREI Blog.
