As we transition from planning to action, we need your involvement to further this important work on behalf of all of our institutions.  If you or your institution is interested in working with a core team of individuals to advance one or more of our strategies, or if you can contribute to supporting efforts such as future grant development, please let us know.

If you have questions about this project and the strategies please contact Deborah Ludwig at dludwig@ku.edu, Joni Blake at joni@gwla.org, or Greg Monaco at greg@gwla.org.

You can now find the plan for the Lifecycle Management and Long-Term Preservation of Research Data: A Federated Approach on the website. It includes our vision, strategic plan, proposed implementation of strategies and the supporting evidence of the strategies.

Slides showing areas of interest and concern for advisory council members are now posted under the resources tab.  These slides show which areas council members voted most critical areas for potential action and which were deemed most feasible.

A set of 5 possible strategies for collaborative support of research data management has been sent to the grant advisory council by the steering committee.  Advisory council members have been asked to provide initial feedback by June 24, 2013. 

5/29 - 5/30/2013 Advisory Council members for the IMLS Grant 51-12-0695, Planning for the Lifecycle Management and Long-term Preservation of Research Data met in Kansas City.  Sessions were facilitated by Marilu Goodyear, Director of the School of Public Administration and Affairs at the University of Kansas (KU) and Noel Rasor, assistant director of the KU Public Management Center.
