A group from across the university has been tasked with providing recommendations for establishing an Indiana University Research Data Commons (IU-RDC). This objective embodies a collective recognition of the importance of a university-wide resource for discovering, sharing, and accessing data resources across the IU community.

IU faculty, students and staff will soon have a more effective and efficient “front door” to discover, access and share research data and services through the newly created IU Research Data Commons, thereby exponentially growing the impact of IU’s research output.
