The University of Rhode Island received a $307,921 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) effective March 15, 2026, with completion targeted for February 28, 2029. This collaborative research initiative develops MEDFORD, a specialized language and toolset designed to enable researchers without advanced programming expertise to create scientific research metadata in a human-readable and human-writable format. The project addresses a critical gap in current metadata schemas, which are typically optimized for machine processing rather than accessibility to non-technical scientists and the general public. The deliverables include the MEDFORD language specification, supporting software tools, and comprehensive usability testing across multiple scientific domains, including marine biology and tick-borne disease research. The toolset facilitates the creation of metadata that conforms to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles and integrates seamlessly with established metadata standards and databases. By lowering technical barriers to metadata creation and documentation, this project aims to increase widespread adoption of reproducible and reusable data practices across diverse scientific communities.Federal Grant Award Summary
