<p>Over 156 attendees from 81 institutions joined us for 17+ workshops and sessions September 30 – October 2 to Deliver Effective Data Stewardship! The biennial meeting highlighted ICPSR’s core functions including current data collections and data-related tools and exciting new data projects. The meeting also imparted practical approaches and strategies to work with data producers to share data, write data management plans, steward discipline-focused repositories, and locate tools and resources to assist in curating and managing research data.

<img src="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/files/membership/publications/enewsletters/ddj.png" alt=" " width="226" style="float: right;">
<p>ICPSR is proposing a project for the <a href="https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/data/entries/data-driven-journalism-a-portal-for-finding-truth-in-finding">Knight News Challenge</a> with the goal to arm professional and amateur journalists (storytellers) with the confidence and ability to ask better questions of findings (interpretations) based on data from surveys and other records by understanding basic tenets of truth in impartial data collection. The project will also encourage journalists and writers to tell stories with data in interesting and intriguing ways, to seek out data in creating arguments, and to rely on data collected in the most unbiased way possible. To successfully compete, we need your <a href="https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/data/entries/data-driven-journalism-a-portal-for-finding-truth-in-finding">comments and applause</a>—<strong>by October 20</strong>. Be sure to watch the video included in the application!</p>
