The first principle of the iPlant Collaborative is that it must directly serve the community. Computing infrastructure and tools will be built in response to needs articulated by the community. This requires collaboration of those who think deeply about important questions in plant biology with those who understand computational approaches and cyberinfrastructure development. The project has designed two mechanisms by which the community can identify grand challenge problems suitable for the iPlant Collaborative: Grand Challenge Workshops (GCW) and Grand Challenge Projects (GCP).
Typically, the first step is for a group of scientists to request resources to organize a Grand Challenge Workshop. These are opportunities for groups of researchers with common interests to coalesce around a central problem in plant biology. Their focus can range from well-defined topics with large existing datasets and a community that has worked collaboratively for some time, to groups that have yet to coalesce around a specific set of goals. This document is a call for proposals for Grand Challenge Workshops.
