Based at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, the US GO FAIR office is one of several GO FAIR Coordination and Implementation offices joining an international effort to increase the availability of machine-readable data and metadata for use in research and development. Production of research data that are FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) – including improved access to semantically enhanced data, utilizing existing standards – can facilitate scientific discovery and enhance the societal and economic benefit of research and development (R&D) funding.<br/> <br/>Creating and nurturing an internet of FAIR data will require a combination of more data stewards, better tools, and increased FAIR data stewardship skills across research computing staff, libraries, research staff (PIs, postdocs, graduate students), university leaders and funders, and (software) developers. To address this, the US GO FAIR office is leading the development of a national pool of experts who will be available for training activities and data fairification events. Leveraging the curriculum developed by GO FAIR leaders in the EU, an initial GO FAIR Data Stewardship training session was held in May, 2019 at SDSC. In February, 2020, a “Train-the-Trainer”(T3) workshop funded by the NSF will be held at Georgia Tech. The workshop will bring together practitioners and consultants from academia, non-profits, and industry, to participate in advanced lessons in the use of semantic tools, and consider best practices in “how to teach it.”  Collaboration with the U.S. regional Big Data Innovation Hubs extends the US GO FAIR reach to additional cross-sector research communities, and provides opportunities for joint efforts to address scientific grand challenges.<br/> <br/>The curriculum and outcomes of the T3 workshop will be shared, as well as plans for future FAIR-related activities led by SDSC.
