    (2022-04) Baich, Tina; Ben Miled, Zina; Berbari, Nick; Chu, Gabe; Coates, Heather; Erkins, Esther; Friesen, Amanda; Guiliano, Jen; Han, Jiali; Organ, Jason; Yoon, Ayoung
    In light of the movement towards greater access to and transparency in research, the Association of American Universities (AAU) and Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) convened gatherings in October 2018 and February 2020 to provide a venue for learning, sharing, and planning (campus roadmaps) to support research universities in creating and implementing strategies and systems to provide public access to research data. At the request of Vice Chancellor of Research Janice Blum, Heather Coates and Tina Baich attended the February 2020 gathering. The primary goals of the 2020 convening were to identify best practices, where they exist, to develop a Guide to Accelerating Public Access to Research Data at Academic Institutions (now available here), and to develop a strategic plan for AAU and APLU to drive future actions. As a result, Coates and Baich proposed that the Vice Chancellor for Research convene a working group to further this work on the IUPUI campus. Vice Chancellor Blum charged the Public Access to Research Data Working Group (PARDWG) with investigating the current landscape of data sharing at IUPUI and creating a plan to increase awareness and provide education of campus stakeholders around public access to research data. Working Group members were invited to ensure broad representation of disciplines, acknowledging that data sharing happens differently in different disciplines.
