Research: My research focused on how URI could integrate Research Data Management Planning as a service within the University Libraries. This involved connecting URI with DMPTool, a data management planning organization, as well as generating original documents to act as tools for university researchers. Research Data Management Planning is an essential element of EPSCoR and the NSF, as it ensures the long-term access and preservation of research data for public access and successful grant applications. The project was completed during Summer 2016.
