On 15 December 2022, Orphadata Science was awarded Global Core Biodata Resource status, being one of the first batch of resource to be designated by the Global Biodata Coalition. Orphadata Science (which includes Orphanet‘s scientific knowledge base) was one of the 12 European resources to have been selected following a two-step application process evaluated by a panel of around 50 external reviewers. The next steps imply a discussion with the Coalition’s funders and the other designated resources on how to find a sustainable funding model for these resources judged to be keystones in the research data ecosystem.
