Interdisciplinary scientists may report on work that integrates diverse data, and any challenges encountered in data synthesis. Reports of failures and successes are encouraged, as well as community coordination, data standards, and/or infrastructure that
have contributed to enabling research data integration across disciplines. We will discuss scientific needs and potential solutions to optimize data discovery, integration, and reuse to efficiently address current and future research challenges.</span></p>
