University of Kansas (University of Kansas Libraries)

The University of Kansas Libraries and the campus research office will partner with the Greater Western Library Alliance and the Great Plains Network to explore the potential for a shared regional approach to managing research data. The project team will collect and analyze information about regional research data practices at member institutions; develop a two-day regional workshop to consider and discuss issues, policies, and practices related to lifecycle management of research data across disciplines; and develop a plan and a funding strategy for a data management "test bed" within a regional academic consortium.
