Grant Resources

Scientific data generated in this project, including [micro-CT, histology, and other skeletal phenotyping data; edit to match the project] and associated metadata, will be deposited in the Rodent Open Science Skeletal Archive (ROSSA; rossa.uchc.edu), an NIH-supported domain-specific repository listed on the NIH Office of Data Science Strategy's list of open domain-specific data sharing repositories. In keeping with NIH guidance to prefer established domain-specific repositories when one is available, ROSSA was selected because it is built specifically to serve the skeletal biology community. Unlike general-purpose repositories, which store files without regard to data type, ROSSA is designed around rodent skeletal phenotyping data and supports rapid searching, filtering, and in-browser viewing of datasets, so that other investigators can find, evaluate, and reuse our data without first downloading and processing it. ROSSA collects extensive structured metadata describing each study, including [animal model, genotype, age, sex, and imaging or assay parameters], and assigns persistent identifiers to deposited datasets, which supports discoverability, citation, and long-term reuse. Data can be viewed without a login and are freely available to academic and not-for-profit users; programmatic (API) access requires a login. Data will be deposited [no later than the time of associated publication].
