In this webinar, we will present an overview of the problem - the nuances of sample metadata and data, the history and scale of the problem, the ecosystem of stakeholders, and the technical landscape for supporting this type of research data management. We will provide the latest information on groups and initiatives working to further leading practices in this space. Over the course the webinar, participants will actively engage in discussion to draw out existing spaces or programs where university librarians can provide support to researchers, or to envision new ways forward to leverage the expertise of data curation librarians.
Registration is open now, and the webinar is scheduled to be recorded. RDAP webinar recordings are available to RDAP members through the RDAP Hub.

RDAP Membership Committee
An ongoing requirement for many data professionals is to share their work via conference presentations or publications. This interactive workshop will provide an introduction on how to identify opportunities for conference proposals in the everyday work that you do, and how to write a successful proposal. While the content may be most beneficial to early career professionals or those new to data services, we encourage experienced colleagues to attend so that they can share their tips and tricks with attendees.
Registration will open on January 27th, and the webinar is scheduled to be recorded. RDAP webinar recordings are available to RDAP members through the RDAP Hub.
