DRYAD: A new tool for CDU Researchers

Recently, the Library and the Office of Research hosted a DRYAD training session for 15 CDU researchers, librarians, and administrative staff. The one-hour workshop provided a step-by-step overview of the data submission process, including how to define data sets, set curation and retention parameters, and grant access to publication partners and funders for data review.

Another DRYAD training session will be offered soon—please check back or watch the CDU Now broadcast for upcoming dates and times.

 Why does CDU need a data repository and a Data Management & Sharing Policy (DMSP)?

The main reason is that grantors and funding agencies now require greater data transparency and replicability of research results. Both NIH and NSF mandates include this requirement, and most other funders follow similar guidelines. A DMS Plan serves as a document that explains how research data will be managed throughout a project and after its completion.
