# GatorSTAR: A New MARC U*STAR Program at the University of Florida

> **NIH NIH T34** · UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA · 2021 · $76,539

## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
We propose to create an open and adaptable multi-track curriculum for synchronous and asynchronous
delivery of training modules to promote findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) data
for biomedical data as part of a Passport to AI Proficiency training program. The complete program will
lead participants through hands-on learning activities and discussions, generating an open portfolio of
work demonstrating their competency and culminating in badges signifying the skills earned. The
program resources will comprise modules that can be delivered as for-credit courses, synchronous
workshops, or asynchronous online modules. The FAIR content will be developed in collaboration with
GO FAIR US and will begin with synchronous workshops, with program assessments and feedback
guiding our continued development. These will then lead to development of asynchronous workshops
for both group-based opportunities and individual learners. The program resources will offer
customization for the level of students, enabling targeting of undergraduate trainees through faculty
with leveled content. The learning outcomes, participant assessment, and badge will be the same, but
we recognize that the diverse populations served will benefit from different pathways to success. This
FAIR program integrates into a larger, similarly structured AI education program that will offer enhanced
learning opportunities for trainees seeking to gain proficiency in data science and AI research.
Furthermore, the program will coordinate with industry and campus partners to expand the breadth of
the program, assess its outcomes, and constantly improve the content. By collaborating with the GO
FAIR US team, we ensure that our content will incorporate their best practices, become widely
accessible, and contribute to the FAIR data community.
