[ICPSR] Summer Workshop: Data Curation for Disability and Rehabilitation Outcomes Research

[Linda Detterman]

Please help spread the word about this great educational opportunity!

The ICPSR Summer Program would like to announce the following workshop,
sponsored by the Archive of Data on Disability to Enable Policy (ADDEP) and
the Center for Large Data Research and Data Sharing in Rehabilitation:

*Data Curation for Disability and Rehabilitation Outcomes Research
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/sumprog/courses/0237>*

*Dates and Location:* June 29-30, 2017 in Ann Arbor, Michigan
*Instructors:* Jared Lyle, ICPSR; James Graham, University of Texas Medical
Branch at Galveston; Jai Holt, ICPSR

This two-day workshop is for any individual interested or actively engaged
in preparing research data for sharing and reuse among those involved in
rehabilitation and disability outcomes research. Data curation includes the
steps taken to ensure that research data can be used by secondary users
long into the future. Increasingly, Federal agencies are asking researchers
and projects they fund to ensure the data produced are accessible to
others. This workshop will provide practical training for how best to
accomplish this goal.

Workshop participants will learn how to plan, review, clean, document, and
disseminate data collections, including quantitative data and data
containing disclosure risks. Emphasis will be placed on hands-on exercises
demonstrating curation practices as well as discussion with others in the
workshop. Workshop participants can expect to leave with knowledge and
experience of how to plan, assess, improve, and disseminate data for
long-term preservation and access.
