Past Funded Projects

Data discovery is becoming an increasing trend with the availability of public data sets as a part of the open access movement. Data sharing is developing norms and establishing standards to increase research reproducibility. Data management skills are required to execute the data life cycle steps, including creating, accessing, sharing, and re-using data. As health care begins to harness big data and other data sets for discovery purposes, scientists need to understand data management and incorporate best practices into their research.
