29- ## Why we build Seedcase
29+ ## What motivated the Seedcase Project

3131In clinical and health research, especially for small- to mid-sized
32- research groups, funding for building modern, open source software
32+ research groups, funding for building modern, open- source software
3333infrastructures for managing and using data is limited. This lack of
34- funding has naturally led to organizational challenges for managing
35- existing and incoming data for many research initiatives, including the
36- Danish Centre for Strategic Research in Type 2 Diabetes (DD2) initiative
37- [ @Nielsen2012 ; @DD2 ] , a national research collaboration and database
38- initiative established in 2010 with continual enrollment of persons with
39- type 2 diabetes. DD2 is one of our collaborators and key stakeholders of
40- Seedcase.
41-
42- We hope that Seedcase will improve and extend the existing DD2 research
43- infrastructure into an open national state-of-the-art research
44- infrastructure that will provide easy and transparent access to this
45- resource for researchers, clinicians and stakeholders, thus enabling
46- excellent data science driven research. Within the DD2 setting, an open,
47- transparent, and easy access to this constantly growing resource has the
48- potential of greatly improving the interest in, use of, and scientific
49- impact of this resource, thus leading to substantial scientific and
50- medical advancements, individualised treatment and improved human health
51- in not only persons with type 2 diabetes, but population overall.
52-
53- Seedcase will not be limited to only DD2. Our ** secondary aim** to
54- create this framework in such a way that other research groups and
55- companies, who are unable to adequately invest in building
56- infrastructures of this type, can relatively easily implement it, and
57- modify as needed, for their own purposes. By building this framework, we
58- hope to help propel research groups and companies across Denmark (and
59- globally) to quickly getting updated on modern, scalable, and efficient
60- approaches to working with data.
34+ funding has naturally led to organisational challenges in managing both
35+ existing and incoming data for many research initiatives.
36+
37+ In the Seedcase Project, we aim to improve research infrastructure by
38+ providing tools that ease the management of research data resources and
39+ improve transparency for researchers, clinicians, and stakeholders.
40+ Managing data is hard and can easily become time-consuming and complex.
41+ With the Seedcase Project, we want to provide a framework for managing
42+ data in a way that is scalable, efficient, and easy to use---while also
43+ being open source and transparent. This will allow researchers to spend
44+ more time on actual research by minimising the time spent on data
45+ management.
46+
47+ More open, transparent, and easy access to data resources has the
48+ potential to greatly improve the interest in, use of, and scientific
49+ impact of those resources, enabling excellent data science-driven
50+ research.
51+
52+ We aim to create this framework in a way that enables diverse research
53+ groups and companies who are unable to adequately invest in building
54+ infrastructures of this kind to implement it relatively easily and
55+ modify it as needed for their own purposes. By building this framework,
56+ we hope to help propel research groups and companies across Denmark (and
57+ globally) toward modern, scalable, and efficient approaches to working
58+ with data.
