星空传媒 has launched a new research data website to help researchers gather, and find resources to measure, analyze, preserve and responsibly store and share data.

鈥淩esearch support was previously distributed between the 星空传媒 libraries, UTech and the Office of Research & Technology Management,鈥 said Roger Zender, Associate University Librarian, Creation and Curation Services. 鈥淭his pulls it all together in a single, user-friendly hub.鈥

The importance of planning for and following best practices of data management cannot be overstated, particularly in light of complex, recently revised federal requirements.  This new website helps researchers with those best practices, as well as how to navigate funders鈥 potential regulations鈥攆or example, the National Institutes of Health鈥檚 new data management and sharing policy that requires complex data management plans for all projects that will generate scientific data.  

鈥淚t is never too early to plan for responsibly managing your data,鈥 stressed Zender. 鈥淚f you are involved in research you need to familiarize yourself with the critical data decisions you will need to make as investigators, and this site will help you do that.鈥

Please reach out to researchdata@case.edu with any questions regarding the new website.
