The Role the Chief Data Officer Can Play in Helping the Research Community

Abstract

As the champion for establishing strategies to effectively manage data in order to support the mission of UW-Madison, the Chief Data Officer is working on establishing our institution?s first Data Governance program. While the genesis of the program was the need to effectively manage UW-Madison?s administrative data and the systems that contain them, the scope of the program also includes establishing institutional support for managing data within the research enterprise. One of the goals of the CDO and the Data Governance program is to make the case for and provide the necessary resources to assist researchers in managing the data-lifecycle of their research endeavors. Jason will speak to the work that has been done to date and what planned efforts are upcoming in this realm.
