Good afternoon, I'm passing this CFP along on behalf of a colleague:

Please feel free to reach out to Rachel Fleming ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) if you have any questions, or would like any assistance with developing a proposal or paper.

Subject Line: BRICCs Research Data Management Conference: July 9 - 11

Building Research Innovation at Community Colleges - Research Data Management (BRICCs-RDM) is a unique conference that leverages the growing BRICCs community to explore research data management practices that support the growing cyberinfrastructure (CI) landscape and understand how RDM can be used to advance CI-enabled scientific use-cases in academic research. During this conference, we hope to highlight the work done by different stakeholders, and help the community learn from these efforts. The conference seeks to develop clear strategies to ensure support and access from all stakeholder communities who produce and consume data on CI resources and inform RDM practices at campus, regional, and national levels to facilitate technological advances and innovation in research.

BRICCs workshops bring together a vibrant community of stakeholders, ranging from R1 universities to smaller four-year schools and community colleges, to learn about current problems, foster collaborations, facilitate solutions, and present conclusions to the broader research community. The approach serves as a cooperative space for discourse regarding challenges in the progression of CI adoption in educational and research settings. The RDM conference brings this community together to discuss Research Data Management practices.

Registration and Location:
The conference will be held from July 9-11,2025  at the Westin Hotel in Old Town Alexandria, VA.  To learn more and register, please visit our website at: u.tamu.edu/rdm<http://u.tamu.edu/rdm>.  A room block with preferred rates ($183/night) is available for attendees. Additional details, including travel support, are provided in the registration packet.

Coming Soon! Call for Proposals:
You are invited to share position papers on how RDM can be used to advance CI-enabled scientific use-cases in research and academic programs, the challenges they face, the opportunities, and their strategies. Here, we hope to define the scope of the effort on two major fronts:

  *
How are institutions developing RDM policy, support, and governance?
  *
What is the role of training and education in the process of integrating RDM?

We will welcome the following session types:

  *
Posters, which will be displayed during the workshop
  *
Position papers, which will be presented as 10-minute lightning talks
  *
Panel sessions, of 30 minutes length
  *
Birds-of-a-feather sessions, of 30 minutes length

This conference is supported by NSF CC* award number 2437898. To learn more about BRICCs, please visit us at https://hprc.tamu.edu/briccs/.
