Title: Data Governance and Stewardship 101
This session will be an introductory conversation to understand the fundamentals of data governance and stewardship. Attendees will be introduced to the core principles of data governance and the role of data stewards. We will talk about strategies for governance and stewardship at your institution, and how to work within roles and frameworks that may already exist at your institution. We’ll also talk about how to build this framework and external considerations you need to consider. Presented at the 2024 Research Analytics Summit in Albuquerque, NM  more » « less

    If you want great research analytics, you’re going to need great data governance for your research metadata. That’s a tall order when the best information often spans incompatible systems, departments, policies, and mindsets. Research metadata governance is a great illustration of how research analytics is not just a technology problem. It happens at the intersection of technology, policy, process, and culture. Do any of us feel like our organization is “nailing” metadata governance? What level of research analytics could you achieve if there could be more alignment and cooperation around this kind of governance? In this session, you will join your fellow attendees in a facilitated design thinking workshop around the culture and organizational patterns of research metadata governance. We will explore the problem space and the solution space together. And we’ll highlight the group’s best findings. Whether you’re at the technical implementation level or the VP level, you will have seen and experienced good and bad patterns of how research metadata is being governed at your institution. These experiences are valuable to your fellow community members. Using design thinking, we will explore the collective intelligence on this complex topic, shoulder to shoulder. You’ll leave with a better understanding of how the patterns and struggles of data governance at your institution correlate with those of others. You’ll gain new ideas on how to address the hard cultural and organizational problems of governance. And you’ll meet new colleagues who you can stay connected with. Finally, you’ll gain an appreciation of how design thinking techniques themselves can be useful for these types of challenges at your own organization, and how they help to create understanding and alignment.

    In this session, we will start at the beginning and talk about what you need to think about in setting up research analytics capabilities for your organization. There are so many options for tools and other resources to get started, but what if you only have Excel? How do you get reporting off the ground when it hasn’t been done (or done consistently) at your workplace? We’ll talk about ways to get started, including who you need to talk with, what you need to consider, and how to move forward with basic reporting.

    This session will explore ways to locate, analyze, and present sponsor-provided data to guide research development. Individual investigators, who may be proposing to a funder for the first time, often want to know about funding success rates, as well as more nuanced insight into the kinds of projects agencies tend to favor. They may also benefit from insight into changing workforce demographics and career trajectories in their discipline. At the departmental and institutional level, leadership seeks information about trends in funding availability and mechanisms, and in patterns of grants made, to better position themselves for these opportunities. As a research development professional, how can you best use available data from and about grantmakers to answer their questions? Better yet, how can you proactively access and interpret this data to keep your institution informed of trends relevant to its priorities? In this session, we will take a tour of valuable data sources such as NIH RePORTER and the NIH data book, NCSES’s Survey of Federal Funds for Research and Development, and directories of philanthropy like Candid. We will talk through a few cases of research development tasks and examine how such data can help solve problems, inform decisions, alleviate fears, and reveal opportunities for our institutions.

    In this session, we will consider how to use place-based data to build your case to sponsors for funding research at your institution, particularly for sponsors who operate on the national or international scale. The setting of your institution—the communities it developed in, the region where it operates, and the people it reaches and serves—is key for conveying its unique capacities and potentials, and for making sponsors eager to bring you into their funding portfolio. How can data help you introduce yourself as an institution and tell your story in geographical and economic context? In this session we will explore US Census data, other federal data hubs, and research and reporting from organizations such as the Pew Research Center or the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). We will cover the benefits and challenges of working with raw data; identify suitable data types for certain purposes, such as diversity and equity issues; and consider what kinds of data and presentations are most compelling to different types of funders. With greater awareness of what data and tools are available, you can “put yourself on the map” and paint a vivid picture of your community for prospective funders.
