Powering Sustainable Data Access</span></i></b><i><span style="font-size:14pt"></span></i></p>
<p style="margin:6pt 0in 0.0001pt">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.</p>
<p style="margin:6pt 0in 0.0001pt">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. </p><p style="margin:6pt 0in 0.0001pt">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.</p>
<p style="margin:6pt 0in 0.0001pt">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. <i>Membership matters, </i>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.</p>
<p style="margin:6pt 0in 0.0001pt">We invite you to join us for one or all fourteen
webinars airing October 6-9, 2014!</p>
<p style="margin:6pt 0in 0.0001pt"><i>Note: All data
fair webinars are free and open to the public.</i></p>
