Repository for code generated by the Michael J. Fox Foundation's (MJFF) Community of Researchers and its Data Community of Practice (DCOP).
This GitHub organization is maintained by members of MJFF staff and champions within our Data Community of Practice (http://rcop.michaeljfox.org). This page is intended to host code generated by MJFF-funded grantees and members of that community.
MJFF is seeking to foster an inclusive community of research data users who can more easily work with each other using data that have been generated in the search for a cure, treatments, and interventions for people living with Parkinson’s Disease. This is not a place for sharing the data directly—it’s intended to support conversations about how to access, use, and create persistent documentation about existing datasets.
Community participants will not be required to have pre-existing access to data, a specific technical background, or MJFF research funding, nor would participation be restricted to a specific data set or type. A neurologist from New York is as valued as a biostatistician from Beijing or a geneticist from Ghana.
The DCoP aims to bring together individuals so that through knowledge sharing with one another you can:
- access data tools and guides in a more streamlined way
- and troubleshoot challenges
- discuss and evolve shared principles around data sharing and reuse
- support your professional advancement
- be inspired by new research topics
- expand your collaborative networks
