Building Resilient Research Practices: Integrating RDM into Graduate Education

Kathleen Flynn, Emily Kilcer

Presentation   2025-05-13   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

As institutional and funding body expectations for robust data management and compliance with Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR) principles grow, research data management (RDM) instruction has become an indispensable service provided by academic libraries. Further, providing training to graduate students on RDM best practices can enhance students’ graduate experience by [...]


Unwilling, Unable, Unsafe: Policy to Meet Unusual Sharing Requests

Abigail Goben, Andrew Boyd

Lightning Talk   2025-05-02   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

As funders require increased sharing, researchers are facing increased requests where they have concerns about sharing the data. In order to anticipate these requests and establish a mechanism for response, the University of Illinois Chicago developed a data policy and framework to address sharing requests where a research is unwilling to share the data, unable to share the data, or they feel [...]


Sustaining Humanities Research with Data Collectives

Sarah Reiff Conell

Presentation   2025-05-02   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

If you want to spend your time doing something besides maintaining a bespoke, digital project indefinitely, what can be done with the underlying scholarship?
