You’re invited to attend a meeting of the National Academies’ Standing Committee on Use of Emerging Science for Environmental Health Decisions Integrating Environmental Health Data to Advance Discovery January 10-11, 2013 Keck Center, 500 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, D.C. Room 100 |

Research in biomedical sciences has undergone a dramatic transformation in the past two decades. Science is increasingly data-intensive, computational, interdisciplinary, and collaborative. This trend toward "Big Data" is pervasive throughout science and imposing new challenges for biomedical research along three dimensions, sometimes referred to as the three V's: volume, velocity and variety. Whereas significant progress has been made in the development of digital technologies, community-wide principles and resource management for data volume and velocity, progress towards integrating existing heterogeneous data sets (the variety component of the three V’s) has lagged. This lag presents particular challenges for environmental health sciences, which is inherently cross-disciplinary. Only through the coordination of all three dimensions will the full potential of Big Data be realized. This meeting aims to foster discussion about the need for enhanced data integration in environmental health sciences, evaluate the lessons that can be learned from integrative initiatives in other scientific domains, and strategize about how the community can take major steps toward improving data coordination and access to advance understanding about environmental effects on human health.
