Research Data Services

Our librarians provide expert guidance and project consultation on all aspects of data management and long-term data curation. You can consult us about data management plans, data sharing, data archiving, and related topics.

Talk to us about your research, and we’ll help you manage data more efficiently and achieve greater impact.

Data management or sharing plans

We’ll help you write a plan to comply with requirements from the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and other funders. If you've already started writing, we’ll gladly review your plan and provide constructive feedback.

Individual and group consultations

Whether you’re working alone or participating in a collaborative project, you can consult us about data management problems at any time. We’ll analyze your situation and help you develop a solution that fits your methods, workflows, and objectives.

Referrals

We can connect you to relevant services and resources across the campus. In addition, we can direct you to data repositories for long-term archiving. Talk to us early in your research process, and we’ll prepare some recommendations.
