Upcoming Special Events

Data Management and Sharing Practices for Federally Funded Research and Beyond

Date:	February 2024 (date TBA)
Time:	1:00pm - 2:00p.m.
Location:	Zoom (Virtual Workshop)
Register:	Sign Up Here

UT Libraries subject area liaison librarians and members of the Research Data Services team provide on-campus expertise in data management and sharing. In this session representatives from the UT Libraries will provide an introduction to data management planning, tips for data sharing considerations (including selecting a repository and sharing sensitive data), and an overview of the new data management requirements specified by federal research funding agencies like the NIH. Though this workshop will focus on research data management practices required by particular federal agencies, many of the principles of data management and sharing are applicable across funding agencies and we welcome you to join us regardless of funding source. The first half of the presentation will cover general data management best practices, and the second half will focus on addressing the specific data management and sharing requirements of federal research funding agencies.

Data & Donuts Workshops

Data & Donuts is a workshop series organized each semester by the UT Libraries Research Data Services team. Instructors from UT Libraries and partners across campus share expert advice, resources, and tools that will help you take good care of your data through all phases of the research lifecycle, from project planning to data preservation.
