What is CIC and the CIC Data Storage group?What is CIC and the CIC Data Storage group?
• CIC – Committee for Institutional Cooperation (Big 10 plus University of Chicago)
• Number of active collaborations including CIC Data Storage
• The data storage work group consists of campus representatives from IT, libraries, research offices, super computing centers and research computing
support units

How is the project organized from a CIC perspective?How is the project organized from a CIC perspective?
• CIC provides programmatic support
• CIO collaborator keeps fellow CIOs, Provosts, VPRs and Head Librarians informed
• Self organizing teams around topics of interest (workgroups include cross organizational representatives)
• Linking faculty research projects sponsored by the Provosts with the initiative
• Monthly status calls
• Annual face-to-face meeting

How is the project organized from campus perspective? How is the project organized from campus perspective?
• CIOs, VPRs and Head Librarians select their representatives as appropriate for each campus
• They receive updates from both their campus reps as well as regular updates via the CIC channel
• At all points CIC collaborations ask how to best support both collaborative efforts and local campus needs
• Linkage and collaborations with national initiatives that member institutions are pursuing (DMP tool, Data Conservancy, etc.)

Efforts by the GroupEfforts by the Group
• National/International Data Repositories - An up-to-date list of data repositories available for researchers.
• NSF/NIH Data Management Plan Support - Resources for researchers needing to comply with the new federal requirement to make federal grant-supported research data persistently available.
• Shared Research Data Services - Exploration of researcher-desired data services leveraged across the CIC, beginning with exploration of an "ask an expert" service.

Questions for the AudienceQuestions for the Audience
• What approaches might be used to gain input on how research data storage and management needs are currently being met and where gaps might exist across the institution?
• What approaches might be used to determine where and at what level gaps in data storage and management services might best be provided – Library? College? Archives? Central IT?
• What approaches could be used to have ongoing dialog with the academic research community and across IT service units to coordinate and adapt services to meet the research data services needs of the research community?

Next Steps
Developed formal connections across:•The Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies• The Library • Central IT (CIO) Office
o Central IT serviceso Archive serviceso Developed a Research Team within IT Services–as part of reorganization of central IT services. This team using results of ad hoc task force and gathering additional input

Do you have an inventory of skills that would be important to researchers and the management of
their data ?

• Each institution will have several people who will serve as the contact points. They will receive questions from faculty and/or researchers, and post those questions to the listhost.
• These representatives will also be the keepers of the skills inventory at their respective institution.
• When these representatives intercept a question, they will forward it on to the appropriate skill owner at their institution if one exists.
• When the query in answered, the institutional representative will post the answer to the listhost, if appropriate, for others to benefit from.
• If others from the listhost wish to address the question, they are free to do so.
