<div>Northwestern University Interdisciplinary Innovation in Developmental Education and Science (NUIIDEAS) Data Repository Needs Assessment Project</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Northwestern University Interdisciplinary Innovation in Developmental Education and Science (NUIIDEAS) is a University-wide initiative focused on creating scientific community and catalyzing boundary-spanning scientific integration along the broad theme
of early life influences on lifespan health and wellbeing. The overall goal of the effort, which will carry over into additional phases beyond this assessment phase, will be to create a system that researchers can store, access, and analyze existing data,
collected by researchers at Northwestern and elsewhere, that focuses on developmentally-oriented research questions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the current six month needs assessment phase, a team of faculty, librarians, and technologists are working together to characterize the data and to understand data sharing practices and expectations. We seek a consultant for the assessment phase to
help the team develop an approach that will include interviews, analysis of published literature, analysis of existing data sets, and an assessment of existing repository strategies. The consultant will advise the team and review drafts of the team's report
and recommendations.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The desired date for responses is September 2, 2014, but we have some flexibility on the date and on the scope of work; please feel free to contact me directly with any questions, etc..</div>
