Data Management

Getting Started with Data Management

Data management is a vital part of the research lifecycle. From the moment a project begins, careful attention to how your data is stored can mean the difference between success and failure for your research (or worse, if your data is lost or corrupted). Luckily, Indiana University provides researchers with support for data management and preservation, as well as help navigating the tricky world of grant funding regulations.

This guide is intended for researchers at IU Bloomington who wish to learn more about general best practices for managing their data, grant funder mandates, and Indiana University’s resources and support. Use the navigation menu to the left to explore topics related to Data Management.
