Title
Support at Yale for data throughout the research lifecycle
Description
Yale’s research data policy sets expectations of Yale and its researchers and articulates shared principles and rules that guide the use, development, and protection of research data. Yet managing research data is a complex challenge for researchers. It requires investment of time and resources from the entry of data into the research cycle through the dissemination and archiving essential to reliable verification of results and reuse of data in new research. The diversity of disciplinary practices further complicates the activity. Additionally, researchers seeking institutional support must navigate the myriad of support services, uncertain as to whether they will find a resource to meet their needs. The Research Data Support Initiatives Group (RDSIG) – a multi-departmental steering group whose mission is to develop scalable, sustainable, and domain-appropriate data services and policies in support of research at Yale – has been working on developing a coherent program around support for research data management to optimize efforts by various support units and best serve Yale researchers.
