Which state(s) best describe your resource? Check all the boxes that apply.

State 1 (1) State 2 (2) State 3 (3)

Rationale: This section asks about long-term plans for your resource. We will ask questions about sustainability that reference definitions of repository states from the Life-Cycle Decisions for Biomedical Data: The Challenge of Forecasting Costs report (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2020): State 1 resource: Primary research assets and the environment where they are captured and analyzed. An example would be a local lab repository where data is collected and used primarily by that lab for its own research purposes. State 2 resource: Aggregated assets and the public environment where they are accessed, shared, and analyzed. Examples supported by NHGRI include the Mouse Genome Database, Wormbase, and ZFIN. State 2 repositories are typically funded to support collection, curation, sharing, and analytics. State 3 resource: Curated and aggregated assets and the environment where they are preserved or archived but cannot be directly analyzed within that environment. Examples include the SRA Sequence Read Archive (SRA), the NCBI Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA), and NOAA OneStop. State 3 repositories are typically funded for the purposes of searching and downloading assets and are characterized by standardized metadata descriptions of these assets. State 3 resources may also be designed specifically to collect and archive from a variety of State 2 resources for long-term preservation. A given resource may be clearly in one state or may be a hybrid of states, according to NASEM report cited above.
