The ODC-TBI was established as a dedicated data sharing portal and repository for the field of TBI. Through the ODC-TBI, you can share data with your colleagues in a protected space and [publish data](https://odc-tbi.org/data/public) to the public with a DOI. The ODC-TBI complies with the [FAIR data principles](/open-data-commons/readme/readme/principles-of-the-odc.md#fair-data) and the new [NIH Data Sharing Policy](https://sharing.nih.gov/) to ensure that TBI data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. The ODC-TBI currently supports data sharing in the [TOP-NT](https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/rfa-ns-17-023.html) project and is providing the data sharing platform for the new interagency [PRECISE: PREClinical Interagency reSearch resourcE for TBI](http://www.precise-tbi.org/) project, and is open to all researchers in TBI. With the growth of this community we hope to expand the amount of data sharing and promote transparency and reproducibility for our common goal to find treatments for TBI, and provide a means for the TBI community to meet increasing funder and journal data sharing requirements.\ \ We cordially invite you to share this community with your colleagues and friends involved or interested in TBI research. Become a member of the ODC-TBI and start sharing your data now. For security reasons, ODC-TBI is only open to those affiliated with a recognized institution or organization with appropriate oversight protections in place. However, we welcome everyone to explore and use our public data. If you have questions, please contact us at [info@odc-tbi.org](https://odc-tbi.org/about/mailto).
Sincerely,\ The ODC-TBI community ## **The ODC-TBI Team & Committees** ### **Leadership Team** * Adam Ferguson, PhD (Principal Investigator; Co-chair)\ University of California, San Francisco * Jeffrey Grethe, PhD (Technical Lead; Co-chair)\ University of California, San Diego * Maryann Martone, PhD (PRECISE Informatics Core Lead; Co-chair)\ University of California, San Diego\ University of California, San Francisco Veterans Affairs * Anita Bandrowski, PhD (PRECISE Interoperability Lead)\ University of California, San Diego * Abel Torres-Espin, PhD (Data Science Lead)\ University of California, San Francisco\ University of Alberta * Russell Huie, PhD (PRECISE Data Science Lead)\ University of California, San Diego * Monique Surles-Zeigler, PhD (PRECISE Knowledge Base Lead)\ University of California, San Diego * Faten Taha (Lead Developer)\ University of California, San Diego ### Community Board * PRECISE ### Editorial Board * Maryann Martone, PhD (Acting Editor-in-Chief)\ University of California, San Diego\ University of California, San Francisco Veterans Affairs * PJ Axtman (Managing Editor)\ University of California, San Francisco * Neil Harris, PhD\ University of California, Los Angeles * Aditya Singh, PhD\ University of California, Los Angeles * Catherine Johnson, PhD\ Missouri University of Science and Technology * Zezong Gu, MD, PhD\ Missouri University * Russell Huie, PhD\ University of California, San Diego * Candace Floyd, PhD\ Emory University * Anita Bandrowski, PhD\ University of California, San Diego * Pamela VandeVord, PhD\ Virgina Tech * Monique Surles-Zeigler, PhD\ University of California, San Diego * Kylee A.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://fdilab.gitbook.io/open-data-commons/readme/readme/welcome-to-odc-tbi.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
