RDS provides specialized consulting services to campus affiliates covering various areas. Our team can assist researchers in crafting FAIR-compliant data management plans and facilitating their implementation. We can also help you and your research team get started with data organization, data wrangling, and analysis tools for qualitative and quantitative data. We can assist with data documentation, offer advice on licensing and ethical data sharing, and guide you in navigating data publication and archiving options.
RDS also offers extended engagements via the “Designing a Reproducible and Collaborative Research Lab” program, which combines group workshops and personalized coaching sessions for faculty and their team on the following topics:
- Coding as a lab
- Managing your lab data
- Automating your analytical workflows
- Documenting & preserving things to make them reusable
During this 12-month program, we work with faculty and lab members to establish infrastructure and practices that make their research more reproducible, enabling better reuse of work and more efficient collaboration.
