Purpose:
Develop a centralized portal for discovery and information about research resources- data, reagents, organisms, tools available to researchers through NIDDK (National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases)-supported centers and other relevant projects. Building on the foundation of Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs), dkNET also provides services and tools to promote scientific rigor and reproducibility, and helps researchers to make data FAIR.
