 Dear DLF,

As part of the IMLS grant “Developing Specialized Data Curation Training to
Address Needed Expertise in Focused Areas“ (RE-252343-OLS-22
<https://www.imls.gov/grants/awarded/re-252343-ols-22>), the Data Curation
Network and partners are excited to work on a project to extend the current
DCN curriculum <https://datacurationnetwork.github.io/CURATED/>! We are
currently recruiting team members to join instructional cohorts to develop
data curation training materials for four specialized data types:

   -

   Code
   -

   Geospatial data
   -

   Scientific images
   -

   Simulation data


These cohorts will have the opportunity to develop new educational
materials and participate in a knowledge network to build curation capacity
within the library and archives profession. Read more about the project
approach on this recent blog post
<https://datacurationnetwork.org/2022/10/06/building-community-driven-instructional-cohorts-for-specialized-data-types/>.
As part of the project, cohort members will:

   -

   Attend a 1.5 day planning and cohort building meeting in Washington DC
   on January 25-26, 2023 (travel funds provided)
   -

   Participate in a knowledge network made up of the four cohorts in Spring
   and Summer 2023 and develop new curriculum materials for a selected data
   type with a group of their peers (estimated time commitment 5 hours per
   month)
   -

   Provide instructional support and participate in a 2 day pilot workshop
   in October 2023 (travel funds provided)
   -

   Publicly disseminate relevant curriculum materials for broader reuse and
   as a citable contribution to the field
   -

   Receive a $750 instructor stipend


If you are interested in applying, please complete this brief statement of
interest form <https://forms.gle/kJx3nEbG9TQZutqS6> by November 4, 2022.

Acceptance for cohort members will be announced by the end of November. If
