Meeting the NSF Data Management Plan Requirement

Support @ IUPUI

The Data Services Program is available to support researchers in meeting the NSF Data Management Plan requirement. We offer individual consultations for development and implementation of Data Management Plans that utilize available infrastructure at IUPUI. We are also happy to review Data Management Plans and provide feedback prior to submission. Plans can be submitted to us at dataserv@iupui.edu for review. Please send a brief project description (1-2 paragraphs) along with your plan. Allow a minimum of 3 business days for review. For better results, consult us as early in the proposal development process as possible.

Datasets in IUPUIScholarWorks

Datasets will be stored in IUPUIScholarWorks

IUPUIScholarWorks is one way in which IUPUI is addressing the research communities' need for new outlets in scholarly communication. It is an institutional digital repository which employs the DSpace open source software (freeware) created by MIT and Hewlett Packard in 2000. IUPUI is in good company as Cambridge University, Columbia University, Cornell University, University of Washington, and Edinburgh University have also selected DSpace as a means for establishing their own institution's digital repository.

The technical aspects of maintaining the repository's infrastructure and ensuring submitted items are digitally preserved are handled by the experts at University Library.
