About Us

Mission

In support of research activities at the University of Arizona, the Data Management Services team aims to be a central point of service to meet student, staff, and faculty research data management and geospatial data needs. Through our no-cost consulting services, we support compliance with funder data management plan requirements, meeting data sharing mandates, increasing research efficiency and reproducibility, and finding and accessing data (geospatial and otherwise), and more. We also provide referrals to campus partners and resources when appropriate. Finally, via our workshops and customized training services, we aim to foster Increased knowledge and practice of good data management principles.

Governance

Data management issues that are of campus-wide impact are discussed and addressed by the Research Computing Governance Committee (RCGC) Data Management Subcommittee. The RCGC is a shared governance committee comprised of a cross-departmental group of researchers and IT professionals with oversight of central research computing resources. It is sponsored by the Vice President of Research, the Chief Information Officer, the Dean of Libraries, and the Senior Vice President of Health Sciences.  More information.
