The Department of Energy’s Office of Biological and Environmental Research is seeking public input on the development of a unified framework for next-generation data management and analysis.
A notice posted Monday on the Federal Register states the BER is requesting comments on technologies needed to develop a more unified data infrastructure and research areas that may benefit from the framework.
The office is also looking to identify current data sets that should be integrated into existing data infrastructure to facilitate research and determine barriers to accessing or integrating data from various sources.
The proposed infrastructure will support research in atmospheric science, environmental science, bioenergy and bioproducts and plant and microbial genomics.
Responses are due Oct. 31.

The U.S. Navy is moving away from the optionally manned vessel concept as it refines its vision for unmanned platforms that will operate alongside traditional surface ships, USNI News reported Friday. Officials said the service now prefers designs that keep sailors entirely off board. Speaking at an event at the U.S. Naval Institute, Capt. Matt Lewis, program manager for unmanned maritime systems, said the change stems from the complexity and cost that come with designing ships to accommodate crews. He noted that the Navy’s recent presolicitation for a Modular Attack Surface Craft, or MASC, encourages proposals that remove the need
