Goals of the Network

1.

Facilitate collaboration and cross-project learning

2.

Provide ontology-related technical, computational, and informatics expertise and support

3.

Facilitate dissemination of resources and training to support ontology expansion, development, and use

4.

Provide active outreach and coordination with relevant stakeholders to increase understanding of and demand for BSSR ontology-related tools and resources

Impact

The success of this DCC will establish a critical infrastructure with a reference framework to support BSSR ontology development, evaluation, and usage. The DCC will serve as a backbone for the U01 Network and facilitate and successful dissemination of findings and sharing of data and knowledge resources generated through the Network to the broader scientific community

Ontologies in the Behavioral Sciences: Accelerating Research and the Spread of Knowledge

This report describes how ontologies support science and its application to real-world problems.

It also details how ontologies function, how they can be engineered to better support the behavioral sciences, and the resources needed to sustain their development and use to help ensure the maximum benefit from investment in behavioral science research. The full report was published in May, 2022
