In 2025, a biotech data steward will need competencies in the FAIR data principles, cloud security, and domain-specific ontologies. Understanding FAIR principles involves ensuring data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable, with effective metadata management and machine-actionability techniques (e.g., controlled vocabularies) being crucial for data collaboration and sharing[6][5]. Knowledge of cloud security protocols, including risk management and data protection strategies, will be essential given the industry's reliance on cloud platforms and the increasing threat landscape[3].

Training programs addressing these needs include workshops on the practical application of FAIR principles, such as creating FAIR metadata, and specialized training on cloud security frameworks[2]. Additionally, ongoing professional development in domain-specific ontologies will enhance data stewardship capabilities, aiding in the effective management of biomedical research data[4].
