While unprecedented amounts of data relevant to research in climate and health are widely available, these data are typically only practically accessible to the most sophisticated researchers. As part of the FRP we seek to bring the community of potential users together to better understand their data needs. We will use the first FRP workshop to engage the BU community and key external experts in this discussion. That conversation will then drive how we enhance and streamline the data sharing pipeline in order to increase the pace of climate-related research being conducted at BU and with trusted external collaborators.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bu_collapsible_container \" aria-live=\"polite\" data-customize-animation=\"false\"><h5 class=\"bu_collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\"tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">Thrust Leaders<\/h5><div class=\"bu_collapsible_section\" style=\"display: none;\"><\/p>\n<p>\n\t<div class=\"profile-listing\">\n\t\t<ul class=\"advanced\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<li class=\"has-title\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/profile\/emma-gause-2\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<figure><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/hic\/files\/2023\/06\/Emma-Gause-1024x1024-1-636x636.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\t\t\t\t<p class=\"profile-name\">Emma Gause<\/p>\n\t\t<p class=\"profile-title\">Research Scientist, SPH<\/p>\t<\/a>\n<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<li class=\"has-title\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/profile\/kevin-lane\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<figure><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/hic\/files\/2023\/06\/Kevin-Lane.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\t\t\t\t<p class=\"profile-name\">Kevin Lane<\/p>\n\t\t<p class=\"profile-title\">Associate Professor, Environmental Health (SPH)<\/p>\t<\/a>\n<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/div><!--\/.profile-listing-->\n<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bu_collapsible_container \" aria-live=\"polite\" data-customize-animation=\"false\"><h5 class=\"bu_collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\"tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">Core Faculty<\/h5><div class=\"bu_collapsible_section\" style=\"display: none;\"><\/p>\n<p>\n\t<div class=\"profile-listing\">\n\t\t<ul class=\"advanced\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<li class=\"has-title\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/profile\/stephanie-ettinger-de-cuba\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<figure><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/hic\/files\/2023\/06\/Stephanie-Ettinger-De-Cuba-1024x1024-1-636x636.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\t\t\t\t<p class=\"profile-name\">Stephanie Ettinger de Cuba<\/p>\n\t\t<p class=\"profile-title\">Research Associate Professor, SPH<\/p>\t<\/a>\n<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<li class=\"has-title\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/profile\/mark-friedl\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<figure><img width=\"117\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/hic\/files\/2021\/03\/Friedl_headshot.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\t\t\t\t<p class=\"profile-name\">Mark Friedl<\/p>\n\t\t<p class=\"profile-title\">Professor, Earth &#038;
