The Research Symbiont Awards will be presented in early January 2020 at the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing on the Big Island of Hawaii.
A new blog post describes the rationale for the awards, and a post from earlier this year provides some additional information about ‘The Symbionts.’
‘The Symbionts’
The Research Symbiont Awards are an annual pair of awards.
The General Symbiosis award is given to someone who has sustained exemplary data sharing efforts over a period of time. The Early Career Clinical Research Symbiont Award goes to a relatively new researcher who is working in the field of human health.
In addition to making it possible to recognize the award winners at the awards ceremony
Here are the prior winners of the Research Symbiont Awards, and examples of their data sharing:

Exciting Batch of Nominees
Again this year, we have been astonished at what the nominees have achieved in terms of sharing research data. The entries cover a wide spectrum of fields and types of research, and the competition is tough. The winners who emerge will truly deserve recognition!
A diverse panel is judging the entries:
- Amanda Haddock, DragonMaster Foundation
- Dr. Rebecca Riggins, Georgetown University
- Dr. Fabio Zanini, PhD, (a 2018 winner), University of New South Wales
- Dr. Leonardo Collado-Torres, PhD, (a 2019 winner), Lieber Institute for Brain Development
And finally, I serve as Chair of the committee
We are grateful to Springer Nature and the DragonMaster Foundation for providing support for the awards, which help us make it possible for winners to attend the awards ceremony at the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB). And we thank PSB for hosting the awards!
