About

The Research Data Steering Group (RDSG) was formed in 2020 as a concerted effort by the Research Office, Campus IT, and the Library, Museums and Press to improve research data support across the University of Delaware. RDSG personnel can provide guidance for researchers about the collection, description, storage, sharing, and preservation of research data.

If you are a researcher at the University of Delaware who is looking for support in managing your data, contact us today.
