I Don't Know What Comes Next: Strategic Planning for Data Services
Abigail Goben
Presentation 2024-03-14 Research Data RDAP Summit 2024
While data services have been offered piecemeal at many institutions for nearly a decade, the need for strategic planning and coordinating with campus partners has only become more critical. This presentation will describe a strategic planning process undertaken by a data librarian with the University Librarian, the Head of the Office of Research, and the CIO—identifying current offerings and [...]

Data Bloom: Bridging Communities through Data Workshops
Heather Charlotte Owen, Jieer Chen, Arjay Romanowski, et al.
Poster 2024-03-14 Research Data RDAP Summit 2024
As the University of Rochester River Campus Libraries expanded its data services, it became apparent that the university community lacked beginner-level data training opportunities. To respond to this need, the RCL launched "Data Bloom" in Fall 2023. This series of workshops centered on data visualization and skills, culminating in a contest set for January 2024. These sessions covered a range of [...]
DataLab: Making Data Accessible
Kathryn Diana, Samah Alshrief
Poster 2024-03-14 Research Data RDAP Summit 2024
The DataLab is an initiative that aims to provide students with the skills and training necessary to conduct high-quality research projects. The DataLab is designed to support the University's faculty research initiatives and provide students with practical skills that are highly valued in today's job market. As an interdisciplinary project, the DataLab brings together students and faculty [...]
Breaking Down Barriers to Data Management Training: The Benefits of Interoperable Data Support
Sarah Marchese, Julie Goldman
Poster 2024-03-14 Research Data RDAP Summit 2024
A considerable challenge for institutions is segmentation of groups, creating barriers to communication and support for data services between disparate communities. To combat this issue, communication and collaboration between data professionals in the library, research labs, and information technology departments is imperative to help reshape institutional data services. Our Research Data [...]
FAIR From Plan to Preservation: A Rubric To Empower Researcher Driven Data Stewardship
Reid Boehm, Jared Doucette, Nathan Denny
Poster 2024-03-14 Research Data RDAP Summit 2024
Agricultural researchers often generate diverse, unstructured data that requires thoughtful stewardship to enable sharing and reuse. Creating structure from the outset is critical, yet often a seemingly aimless or arduous task for researchers. Recognizing this barrier, Purdue University's Data Services and Purdue University Research Repository collaborated to create an actionable rubric to [...]
The DMPTool NIH DMSP Templates Project
Seonyoung Kim, Nina Exner, Katy Smith
Poster 2024-03-14 Research Data RDAP Summit 2024
The DMPTool NIH Data Management and Sharing Plan (DMSP) Templates Project was launched in response to the 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy. This new policy introduced a more structured framework for DMS Plans, featuring six key elements, a departure from the 2003 NIH DMS policy. The project aimed to simplify the process for data librarians, research administrators, and [...]
Data Sharing Practices in Agricultural Research: Findings from a Systematized Review
Isabella Baxter, Maggie Albro, Maria Paria, et al.
Presentation 2024-03-14 Research Data RDAP Summit 2024
The importance of data-sharing to the successful conduct of research is well documented, and research sponsors increasingly require that data and findings be made publicly available. Shared agricultural data has many applications including crop and climate change models, informing cover crop rotations, or plant breeding lines. Agricultural researchers who follow data-sharing best practices [...]
The Research Data Services Landscape: Findings from an Updated Inventory of Research Data Services at US and Canadian Universities.
Ruby MacDougall
Lightning Talk 2024-03-14 Research Data RDAP Summit 2024
Campus research data support services play critical roles in supporting research on college and university campuses across the country. However, many of these services have developed in an ad hoc fashion across the campus, and are often siloed and difficult to locate, leaving researchers and administrators confused about what offerings are available. To begin to address this issue, Ithaka S+R [...]
Bridging the Boundaries of Data Curation Across the DOE National Laboratory Complex
Shannon Sheridan, Alex May, Natalie Barnett, et al.
Presentation 2024-03-13 Research Data RDAP Summit 2024
This session will describe the implementation, operation, and current outcomes of the Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratory Data Curation Working Group (DCWG). The goal of the working group is to connect disparate data professionals facing similar challenges and data curation tasks so that they may learn from each other and share resources to address the full lifecycle of data--from data [...]
An introduction to the NIH Common Data Elements (CDE) Repository
Sarah Villere
Lightning Talk 2024-03-13 Research Data RDAP Summit 2024
The NIH Common Data Elements (CDE) Repository provides free online access to search and use Common Data Elements. This tool can be used to standardize research data, save time and resources, and improve the accuracy of and interoperability among datasets. This session will look at the NIH Common Data Elements (CDE) Repository, providing an overview of the database and discussing why it is [...]
Normalizing Research Data for Interoperability
Madison Golden
Lightning Talk 2024-03-13 Research Data RDAP Summit 2024
Interoperability as defined by the NNLM includes "ways in which data is formatted that allow diverse datasets to be merged or aggregated in meaningful ways. It is a key aspect of the FAIR Data Principles, constituting the “I” in FAIR”. While many data management practices aid in data interoperability including standard file formats and thorough documentation, dataset and database structure is [...]
Global Open Research Commons: A Model for Improved Interoperability and Collaboration
