Data Management at Indiana University
On the heels of Empowering People: Indiana University’s Strategic Plan for Information Technology 2009, the Indiana University Libraries, in cooperation with UITS, created a two-pronged approach to tackling one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century: research data management. Equally important are IU’s robust cyberinfrastructure and data management expertise provided by staff at the Office of Research Administration, OVPR’s Proposal Development Services, and the IU Libraries.
Following is a guide to resources available on the IU Bloomington campus, and some key departments from other campuses who can assist their own researchers.
