Supporting Data Management at UF and UTK - A Tale of Two Use Cases

Creators

  • 1. University of Florida

Description

The purpose of this poster is to articulate two successful outcomes in the form of two use cases from (1) accepting the role to be principle investigator (PI) of the Data Management and Analysis Core (DMAC) for a NIH NIEHS Superfund Hazardous Substance Research and Training Program (SRP) P42 grant proposal (RFA-ES-18-002) and (2) applying for and receiving an Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) Faculty Travel Grant to visit (a) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC), (b) University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) Libraries and (c) UTK School of Information Sciences (SIS) (iSchool). The main goal of the DMAC was to make data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) across projects and SRP. The ORAU Faculty Travel Grant resulted in a teaching opportunity to develop a new data management course at UTK SIS iSchool. Within the scope of this poster, current efforts are to understand data management from a socio-technical systems theory perspective rather than a technological infrastructure perspective. 

Notes

A 2018 UFIC Global Fellows Program award funded this trip to present at the IDCC20. Through the Global Fellows Program, UF faculty can kick-start their international research program. A seed grant of $5,000 provides faculty an opportunity to lay the groundwork for conducting international research. https://internationalcenter.ufl.edu/globalfellows
