The Research Data website provides information to support researchers across the lifecycle of research data. This starts with foundational information that informs the lifecycle, as well as steps shown in the wheel, from planning to stewarding – the decisions made at the end of a research project. These webpages include informative segments, plus links to resources at UNL and external information.

The Research Data Life Cycle Micro-credential is now available in Canvas!
This micro-credential is open to students, staff, and faculty at UNL at no extra cost, with the goal of supporting all who engage in and support research, increasing our knowledge of best practices, policies, requirements, and services pertaining to research data. The Comprehensive Research Data Strategy Task Force highlighted the importance of research data management and the need for thoughtfulness, care, infrastructure, support, and reward systems. We conceptualize research data management to encompass the entirety of the process of creating research data – from project planning through the end of active use. This has been structured as the Research Data Life Cycle (RDLC), with distinct, but often overlapping concerns.
The requirements for this micro-credential are 15 hours of approved content, which covers foundational topics, as well as planning, collecting, analyzing, sharing, and stewarding research data. The sessions are offered in a variety of formats - some are videos that you can access when you have time, others are webinars that require availability at a certain time, and still others will be offered in-person. You can view/participate in any of the associated sessions without pursuing the micro-credential.The sessions are offered by providers from across campus, including the Engineering and Computing Education Core, Holland Computing Center (HCC), the Libraries, the Methodology, Analytics, and Psychometrics (MAP) Academy, and the Methodology and Evaluation Research Core Facility (MERC), among others. Once completed, earners will receive a digital badge that is portable and verifiable through the Open Badge program.
