The Center for Research Data and Digital Scholarship (CRDDS) actively engages and participates in various grants and funding opportunities with collaborators to advance innovations in data education, research data management, and open publishing. Our contributions range from consultative support to leadership as co-investigators, in which we provide聽expertise in data pedagogy, open access scholarship, research data ecosystems, and digital humanities infrastructures, to name a few topics. Highlighted below is a selection of聽our recent collaborations, including projects funded by the National Science Foundation, National Endowment for the Humanities, and University of Colorado system.
Current Projects
Members of CRDDS provide data and computing management support to the Odor2Action network project.
CRDDS is collaborating with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and Florida State University to develop a research coordination network that will advance the standardization and adoption of Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) for research facilities and instruments nationally. This project is part of the National Science Foundation's "Findable Accessible Interoperable Reusable Open Science Research Coordination Networks" (FAIROS RCN) program.
Supporting advanced cyberinfrastructure needs for computational research supported by NSF.
This project supports providing infrastructure to Rocky Mountain Advanced Computing Computing Consortium (RMACC) institutions via the Alpine supercomputer.
Data Advocacy for All: An Open Access Digital Repository for Innovative Data-Driven Curricula
Data Advocacy for All aims to extend data humanities education and to invigorate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives at CU 麻豆影院 and CU Denver by designing, building, teaching and assessing a civically engaged, experiential curricular approach that leverages minimal computing and open-source tools. With its humanities focus, the project will enhance the abilities of students to ethically and effectively inquire with data, communicate with data, and deploy data with a goal of creating more just futures.
Humanities Core Competencies as Data Acumen: Integrating Humanities and Data Science
鈥淗umanities Core Competencies as Data Acumen: Integrating Humanities and Data Science,鈥� aims to develop a curricular initiative at the 麻豆影院 that enhances both the humanities and data science by developing courses that are equally rooted in each discipline. During the three-year period of the NEH award, team members will design eight courses, each of which will promote experiential learning and foster engagement with humanistic questions in the context of quantitative inquiry. Two additional key components of the project will be: a two-year course design and development workshop facilitated by CU 麻豆影院鈥檚 Center for Teaching and Learning; and an ambitious plan for disseminating key findings in order to cultivate local and national conversations about the most effective ways of teaching data science and the humanities. The project aims to provide a model of cutting-edge pedagogical collaboration and an example of how the humanities can help equip twenty-first century learners with the intellectual resources they will need responsibly to inhabit a world being remade by data.
Supporting training for engineering students to learn how to use high performance computing systems.
