*ICPSR – Powering Sustainable Data Access*

The call for public sharing/public access to scientific research data
continues to grow. Initially there seemed to be little recognition of the
need to finance public access to research data, but fortunately
funding-sustained public access is making its way into the conversation.

For many years, ICPSR has hosted several public-access research data
archives that are sustained by federal and foundation funding. ICPSR’s 2014
Data Fair will feature webinars about many of these archives and
collections, including an introduction to the National Archive of Data on
Arts and Culture; the R-DAS collection at the Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Data Archive; two Gates Foundation-funded collections at the
Resource Center for Minority Data; an orientation to the National Addiction
and HIV Data Archive Program; and a Q & A about the Gates Foundation-funded
Measures of Effective Teaching Longitudinal Database.

You will find descriptions of these webinars in the Data Fair program.
Other offerings will include a presentation about ICPSR’s current efforts
to fund and achieve sustainable public-access data sharing models,
including its newly launched collection known as openICPSR.

Also of note, ICPSR will launch the Data Fair with an orientation webinar
focused on our membership archive – composed of a data collection and
related teaching resources that have been sustained successfully for over
52 years. *Membership matters, *and this webinar titled, “Understanding
ICPSR,” will provide members – and those exploring membership – with
in-depth tours of ICPSR’s research data services education resources, and
the benefits of membership.

We invite you to join us for one or all fourteen webinars airing October
6-9, 2014!

*Note: All data fair webinars are free and open to the public.*
