Registration for the 2021 RDAP Association Summit is open!

Registration Information

Scholarships are available to all but preference will be given to:

• Current students (undergraduate or graduate) and early career professionals (3 years or less) with an interest in or currently working in research data management and preservation/archiving.

• Individuals from marginalized and underrepresented groups and those who are first-time RDAP attendees. In alignment with RDAP’s values, we want to ensure that we are supporting a diverse array of identities that includes, but is not limited to, race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, age, ability, role or specialty, disciplinary approach, or research environment.

Scholarship recipients will be expected to attend the Summit and compose a blog post about their conference experience to be posted on the RDAP website. Scholarship winners are also strongly encouraged to write up their RDAP conference experience as a commentary for the JeSLIB RDAP 2021 Special Issue.

Please submit your application by February 19 through the online scholarship application form.

The application should include a personal statement no longer than 1600 characters (roughly 250 words) describing a bit about yourself and how attending the Summit will inform your scholarship or practice. Contact Tess Grynoch, tess.grynoch[at]umassmed[dot]edu, if you have any questions.

Winners will be notified by February 24.
