Implementing data management and sharing practices and standards elevates the research enterprise by promoting transparency, rigor, and integrity. They achieve this by offering clear provenance and details on methods, workflows, and research protocols throughout the project. Simultaneously, they enable access to research outputs via persistent preservation platforms, thus reducing redundancy and promoting savings through data reuse.  

We are steadfast in our commitment to advancing the multitude of research initiatives at UMass  Chan.  This promises to benefit both The Commonwealth and the global community by increasing efficiency, reducing unnecessary expenditures caused by data and effort duplication, and promoting novel discoveries through increased rigor, reproducibility, and data reuse.
