Collaboratively Enhancing Capacity for Research Data: Updates from the Data Curation Network
Channel: CNI: Coalition for Networked Information
Date: 04/01/2022

Wendy Kozlowsi, Cornell University

Since its launch in 2016 the Data Curation Network (DCN) has grown into a radically collaborative network of institutions, data repositories, and organizations focused on the ethical sharing of research data. Growing beyond its original scope of shared staffing for data curation, the DCN has become a thriving community and sustainable organization that advocates for data curation and data curators and provides a unique platform for exploration and research. This presentation will highlight efforts underway in the DCN including our research assessing the value of curation, a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded workshop to build and strengthen “data communities” with our partners at Ithaka S+R, a multi-year NSF EArly-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGAR) to develop evidence-based models for campus data-sharing infrastructure with our partners at the Association of Research Libraries, a racial justice initiative to better incorporate inclusive and equitable data curation practice into our work, and the DCN strategic plan for the next three years.
