    As many of you are aware, the discussion around the RDAP logo has been ongoing for a number of years. A logo is important for a professional organization for a number of reasons:

    to provide a visual identity for the RDAP community across platforms and communication methods,

    to solidify the RDAP Association brand and leverage that brand to demonstrate investment and sustainability to potential partners

    to maintain rights to our brand over time via trademark, and more.

    With this in mind, RDAP Leadership prioritized the logo redesign for the 2019-2020 fiscal year as a strategic goal for the sustainability of the organization.

    RDAP Leadership worked with Project7 Design to complete the redesign of the logo. With their help, Leadership conveyed RDAP Association’s values, mission, and community to P7, who provided options that showcased different aspects of the RDAP Association. Ultimately, RDAP Leadership selected a logo that reflects that many pieces necessary to make up the whole of our incredible community. This logo provides a timeless and inclusive brand for the RDAP Association community.

    Without further introduction, here’s our new logo!


    Our website and social media will begin to reflect our new logo and we’ll hope you’ll join us in celebrating this exciting new chapter for RDAP! Be sure to share your excitement using the #RDAP20 hashtag or mention us and we’ll be sure to retweet you!

    The next webinar in our RDAP “Ask me Anything” town hall series is entitled “Data Management for GIS projects”, and is jointly sponsored by RDAP and the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (UCGIS). UCGIS will host this webinar.

    Webinar Description: With federal and other funding agencies wanting to ensure long term access to research output, data management planning for GIS projects has great importance. This webinar shares insight on lessons learned through GIS projects and highlights best practices for different steps in project exploration and creation. Also in this webinar a geology researcher using GIS techniques and collecting geospatial data will explain how she communicated her use of best practices through a data management plan for a successfully funded NSF grant. Attendees will understand the importance of well written data management plans, how to put those plans into action through implementing data management planning and reproducible research best practices, and how library engagement can help with data management planning.

    Presenters: Amy Koshoffer, University of Cincinnati; Jennifer Latessa, University of Cincinnati; and Paula Figueiredo, North Carolina State University

    Data Management for GIS Projects on Feb 26, 2020 2:00 PM EST

    After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

    About UC–GIS: The University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (UCGIS) is a non-profit organization that creates and supports communities of practice for GIScience research, education, and policy endeavors in higher education and with allied institutions. We are the professional hub for the academic GIS community in the United States, with partnerships extending this capacity abroad.

    Managing data has a number of common principles that get applied to each subject domain. As a result, it’s easy to start consideration of data with disciplinary subject and data structure. But in the health sciences and medicine there is a key issue that has to be asked first: Is it clinical research data? Before delving into metadata standards, FAIR principles, or sharing, a health sciences data librarian often starts with the clinical/nonclinical distinction.

    But what’s so special about clinical data? What do we even mean when we talk about clinical data? This session will introduce basic concepts in clinical data management, processes that are commonly used by researchers looking to do clinical data research. We will explore how a health sciences library can provide patron support on local infrastructure for accessing and using clinical data for research. We will also provide resources for further exploration by librarians and patrons.

    Attendees will come away with:

    (1) a better understanding of basic terminology and data workflows in clinical research data management;

    (2) a sense of typical workflows that happen with the clinical research data lifecycle;

    (3) an introduction to systems in clinical data collection and analysis, particularly REDCAP; and,

    (4) at least one answer to the question of “What’s different about clinical?” When it comes to data.

    Date: January 29, 2020 @ 1 pm EST

    Nina is the research data librarian at Virginia Commonwealth University, serving both the medical and core campuses. Before joining VCU in 2017, she was a Researcher and Grant Support Services librarian, supporting all disciplines. She received her Master’s in Library Science in 1997 from North Carolina Central University, and her PhD in information science from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2019. ORCID 0000-0002-8746-8364

    Christy joined UC Davis in August of 2019 as Health Library Informaticist at Blaisdell Medical Library. Prior to that she designed privacy programs for large health systems in California, helped implement ecosystems of research data sharing, developed best practice guidelines in data management, and served as the resource of choice for privacy, data de-identification and research data questions. She brings 20 years of expertise in healthcare informatics, health information exchange, process improvement, program design, population health improvement, human subject research and patient & consumer privacy. Christy has a Master of Science in Health Informatics from UC Davis Health and a Bachelor of Science in Business with an emphasis in Management Information Systems from CSU Sacramento.

    Lori has been working at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center since 1990. For the first 23 years she has been the IT support for researchers on campus. Lori brought REDCap to the University of New Mexico as one of the first 13 sites to pilot this software. She transitioned into a Data Manager position for the Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center seven years ago.
