The Office of Research, Creative Activities and Technology Transfer has scheduled a “Gear Up for Grants” seminar for Wednesday, Jan. 18, from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Memorial Union Arikara room.

Kim Owen, advanced applications coordinator for Information Technology Services, and the Research and Data Working Group will present “Research Data Management.”

Attendees will learn more about a new working group tasked with developing resources to further support research activities at NDSU. The multidisciplinary working group is charged with two focus areas – to identify the impact of research on campus cyberinfrastructure; and to provide assistance to investigators as they develop data management plans, now required by several federal funding agencies. Session topics will include a review of existing and planned campus resources, data management throughout the research lifecycle – including determining data types, publishing, standards and storage options, and issues related to data confidentiality, integrity and availability. The session will conclude with a panel discussion by campus researchers.

All faculty, staff and students are welcome; however, you are asked to register before if possible. New faculty, postdocs and graduate students are especially encouraged to attend.
