IASSIST 2017 - an Autumn Call for Proposals

*Data in the Middle: The common language of research * The 43rd annual
conference of the International Association for Social Science Information
Services and Technology (IASSIST) will be held in Lawrence, Kansas from May
23-26, 2017. Many issues around data (sources, strategies, and tools) are
similar across disciplines. While IASSIST has its roots in social science
data, it has also welcomed discussions over the years of other disciplines'
issues as they relate to data, data management, and support of users. So
again this year, organizers are arranging a conference that will benefit
those who support researchers across all disciplines: social sciences,
health and natural sciences, and humanities. Please join the international
data community in Lawrence, KS, "in the middle" of the U.S., for insights
and discussion on how data in all disciplines are found, shared, used, and
managed. The full Call for Proposals, along with the link to the submission
form, can be accessed on the conference website here:
http://www.iassist17.dept.ku.edu/proposals/. *Deadline: November 21, 2016*
ICPSR’s Open Data Flint Project Featured at the White House

Attendees of the White House’s first Open Data Innovation Summit got a
glimpse <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwQ4udv6IAU> of a project called Open
Data Flint <http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/ICPSR/flint.html>
Open Data Flint is an open-to-the-community data repository that aims to
assist the community of Flint, Michigan, to bring together data to help
build the evidence base to achieve a healthier Flint community and to gain
a deeper understanding of the far-reaching impact of the water crisis on
the Flint population.
A Healthy New Look for HMCA

ICPSR's Health and Medical Care Archive (HMCA)
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/HMCA/index.html> recently
updated its website. HMCA is the data archive of the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation (RWJF) <http://www.rwjf.org/>, the largest philanthropy devoted
exclusively to health and health care in the United States. The data
collections in HMCA include surveys of health care professionals and
organizations, investigations of access to medical care, surveys on
substance abuse, and evaluations of innovative programs for the delivery of
health care.
Great News for International Scholars on Crime and Justice

The National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD)
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/NACJD/> is pleased to announce that
