In any garden, pollinators help everything grow stronger through connection. We can play a similar role in your data ecosystem, helping communities learn from each other and cultivate shared practices.
Whether you’re looking to train your team, bring together a working group, or strengthen ties across organizations, we help create the conditions for collaboration to flourish.
What you get:
- Custom workshops on biological data standardization, designed for your community’s specific needs
- Working group facilitation to keep collaborative efforts on track
- Data development discussions for small teams navigating standards and workflows
- Stakeholder engagement that brings the right voices to the table
Healthy ecosystems depend on connection. We help communities cross-pollinate ideas, standards, and expertise so everyone’s work can thrive.
Pricing example
Custom Workshop on Publishing eDNA Data
$175/hour x 12 hours = $2,100
Scenario: Your research lab has completed several eDNA sampling projects and wants to publish the data to GBIF and other biodiversity repositories. The Data Patch designs and delivers a half-day workshop tailored to your team’s workflow and data types:
- reviewing relevant standards (Darwin Core, MIxS, GGBN extensions) for eDNA observations
- walking through real examples from your projects to demonstrate data structuring and mapping
- addressing lab-specific questions about metadata requirements and quality control
- providing follow-up resources and publishing checklists
We help your team move from sequences and observations to shareable, citable datasets that contribute to global biodiversity monitoring and research.
