4. Assessment on Campus Survey – 2009 Interviews – 2011 – Part of ARL/DLF E-Science Institute

5. Survey Results: Data Sharing & Storage 26% responded that they were required to share data 2/3 kept their data long term (5+ years) but generally used unreliable approaches and proprietary formats that fall short of preservation Indicated need for assistance in maintaining security and access to data as electronic formats changes over time as well as a need for information on storage methods and preservation Many indicated need for great data storage capacity including secure data repositories to facilitate data access, sharing, and discovery See Poster for more

6. ARL / DLF E-Science Institute Environmental scan Stakeholder interviews SWOT analysis Draft e-research strategic agenda Capstone event (January 2012) Final e-research strategic agenda for UIC

7. Findings from Interviews Health sciences researchers creating new data and also re-using data Old data is available for repurposing but not accessible Datasets don't have a place to be stored or shared locally (for some) One group has a focus on building a clinical research data warehouse Some researchers are interested in using others’ data but reluctant to share own

8. More Findings from Interviews Many researchers have data management needs but do not have the time to undertake or learn about data curation or developing data management plans There is no central place to find faculty research or to determine faculty members' research interests across the entire campus Partial faculty profile system

9. More Findings from Interviews Central high performance computing cluster Excellent bandwidth between UIC and Internet Committing $ to improving research infrastructure New IT governance (ITGC) structure may allow broader consideration of collaboration and improving communications – 4 subgroups – 2 focused on research and infrastructure

10. RDM Best Practices and Library Goals Relationships – ACCC, OVCR, colleges Tools – Research and Subject Guides Data Management Plans – DMPTool DMPTool Pilots – Engage 2 or 3 units in service development
