The Clinical and Translational Science Institute's (CTSI) Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Center serves as a resource for researchers at the University of Pittsburgh. Our objective is to provide education so that you can learn to effectively recognize and avoid research misconduct and understand the resources that are available to support your research. Click here for more information or to view upcoming workshops.

Presented by Helenmary Sheridan, MLIS, Data Services Librarian, Health Sciences Library System, University of Pittsburgh

This is the third in a series of three sessions on NIH's Policy for Data Management and Sharing (DMS Policy), which went into effect January 25, 2023. This Policy requires NIH-funded researchers to prospectively submit a plan outlining how scientific data from their research will be managed and shared. The Policy includes an expectation that researchers will maximize their data sharing within ethical, legal, or technical constraints, and explicitly encourages researchers to incorporate data sharing via deposit into a public repository into their standard research process. (subject matter: secure and ethical data use)

This session will cover the data deposit process and explore these topics:

• How to write a good README, user manual, or data dictionary
• Assigning metadata to your data files to make it discoverable on the web
• Creating documentation templates to streamline the deposit process
• Understanding licenses and use restrictions in repositories

Registration is required. Please register by January 31st.
