About NSF NoCTURN

• We are a FAIROS Research Coordination Network. Mirroring NSF’s “10 Big Ideas” of Convergence Research the Non-Clinical Tomography Users Research Network (NoCTURN) will leverage input from a broad community of tomography educators, researchers, and industry stakeholders to propose improvements to data handling that cut across scientific disciplines.
• Our primary goal is to develop practical recommendations that link today’s tomography data with tomorrow’s tomography discoveries.

What we’re doing:

• NoCTURN will achieve this goal by providing a platform to: 1) engage the international scientific tomographic community via participant recruitment from imaging facilities, academic departments, and data repositories across the globe; 2) stimulate improvements for imaging datasets that focus on findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reuse; 3) work directly with private companies that manufacture the hardware and software used by these cutting-edge imaging platforms to standardize data acquisition, handling, and sharing to better reflect the Open Science standards championed by federal funding agencies.
