The top three applicants for the award will be invited to briefly present and share the reproducible or open components of their project. Depending on the applicant pool the organizers will prioritize three categories - graduate students, early-career researchers, and established scholars for the award. There will be an popular audience choice award (non-monetary) during the event. See the 'How to Apply' page for more details.
Review Process: Evaluators from Dartmouth community will use a rubric based on the FAIREST principles linked here to evaluate each submission. We strongly recommend that you review the rubric before submitting your application. Your work doesn't have to meet all the criteria involved. We understand how difficult it is to align with all aspects of the FAIREST principles and this award is an opportunity for all of us at Dartmouth to review our processes to see where we can make improvements with our research workflows. If you have any questions during the process, please reach out to ResearchDataHelp@groups.dartmouth.edu.
