Part of research data stewardship is management of data and associated resources when a researcher moves. A university setting is designed for transitions: students graduating, starting a new career, changing careers, changing institutions, etc. There are often requirements and expectations when a researcher plans to take research data when they leave UNL, some of which may get lost in the excitement of change. The resources on this page are intended to inform and assist researchers who are in or planning a transition.
