# Who We Are ## **Our Culture** Though the primary goal of the BDC project is to build a data science ecosystem, at its core, this is a people-centric endeavor. BDC is also building a ***community of practice*** working collaboratively to solve technical and scientific challenges in biomedical science. ## Learn More More about who we are and the partners empowering our ecosystem can be found at the [BioData Catalyst About page](https://biodatacatalyst.nhlbi.nih.gov/about/overview). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://bdcatalyst.gitbook.io/biodata-catalyst-documentation/community/who-we-are.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
