Intro | Data Assessment | Background | News

In order to assist researchers in managing their data, we need to find out where in the data life-cycle assistance is most needed, and what kind of assistance will provide the greatest benefit. A needs assessment was conducted to investigate data services needs for research faculty in the natural sciences.

Some of the results of the needs assessment were published in an article in the July 2010 (Issue 64) of Ariadne,

Objectives of the assessment:

Characterization and assessment of datasets being generated by UO researchers
Identify one or more potential partners from the sciences for a pilot data curation project, and/or collaboration on grant proposals with data curation components or infrastructure
Produce a report on the above
