[ICPSR] Free Workshop: Data Curation for Rehabilitation Research and Related Clinical Trials

[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 and Research
<https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/addep/index.html>:

*Data Curation for Rehabilitation Research and Related Clinical Trials*

*Dates and location: *June 12-13, 2018, Colorado State University
(Department of Occupational Therapy), Fort Collins, Colorado
*Instructors: *James Graham (Colorado State University), Lynette Hoelter
(ICPSR), Alison Stroud (ICPSR)

This free two-day workshop is for any individual interested or actively
engaged in preparing data, including clinical trial 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, including clinical trial 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. Individuals who have collected or plan
to collect their own data will benefit most from this workshop.
