Microbiome data standards are key to enabling data reuse, yet awareness and community adoption continue to be significant barriers to their broad implementation. The National Microbiome Data Collaborative launched an Ambassador Program based around a community learning model to broaden foundational knowledge and technical skills regarding microbiome metadata standards and best practices in data stewardship.
