Our team supports the creation, curation, use, and discovery of research data by and for Indiana University affiliates. We enable responsible access to and use of data through a suite of research data services, including consultations, instruction, and infrastructure. 

We provide customized support to researchers across disciplines in the research data management lifecycle tasks: from planning and design, through collection and analysis, to publication, preservation, and data reuse. We support researchers in aligning with the FAIR and CARE Principles of data management through consultations, data collection support, and publishing via repositories such as IU DataCORE. 

RDS offers demonstrations, presentations, and hands-on workshops to all Indiana University affiliated researchers, including undergraduate and graduate students, staff, and faculty members. Topics our team can assist you with include:

• Data management planning + data sharing
• Data visualization best practices and how-to's for R, Python, and Tableau
• Mapping through GIS software (ArcGIS, QGIS, Story Map), beginner and advanced
