<p style="line-height:1.5;padding-left:15px">Over 170 attendees from 90 institutions joined us for 17+ workshops and sessions October 11-13 for Building for a Data-Driven Future!

The meeting also imparted practical approaches and strategies to work with data producers to share data, write data management plans, and to support researchers seeking to reuse research data for analyses and publications.

<p style="line-height:1.5;padding-left:15px">A scholarship fund has been established in honor of Hank Heitowit, who served as Director of the Summer Program from 1981 to 2007. Every year, a sizable number of former Summer Program participants want to come back to the Program to strengthen their research capabilities. But, for a variety of reasons, many are unable to do so. The Henry “Hank” Heitowit Scholars Fund was established to help people in this situation. <a href="http://home.isr.umich.edu/giving/heitowit-scholars-fund/" target="_blank">Learn more</a> about the Henry “Hank” Heitowit Scholars Fund and how you can help sustain the Heitowit Scholarship.</p>
