[Rdap] Data Curation Network Awarded Implementation Grant

[Lisa Johnston]

Colleagues,

I'm pleased to announce that the Data Curation Network (DCN) project was
recently awarded funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to pilot
our shared
staffing model for curating research data across 8 institutions.

Our 3-year implementation phase brings together these initial eight partner
institutions: University of Minnesota Libraries, Sheridan Libraries at
Johns Hopkins University, University of Michigan Library, Duke University
Libraries, University Library at University of Illinois at
Urbana­-Champaign, Cornell University Library, Penn State University
Libraries, and the Dryad Digital Repository.

With a pool of expert data curators to draw from --spanning a wide variety
of data types and discipline-specific data formats-- the Data Curation
Network enables data repositories of all sizes to better support
researchers faced with a growing number of requirements to openly and
ethically share their research data.
