Launched in August 2024, the Featured Data Resources program provides researchers with comprehensive learning and engagement opportunities, centered around major data resources. This program offers a series of self-paced learning modules, available through Canvas, that guide users through various data sets and resources. Each module includes essential information about the data, example code and workflows for practical application, and details on access and compliance.

The modules are developed and maintained by IU experts and are accessible to all IU faculty, staff, and students. Some courses may be available to the general public. Aimed primarily at faculty and graduate students, these modules will be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure relevance and accuracy.

Any IU community member may self-enroll in the following courses: 

• A Guide to Using CoreLogic at IU
• A Guide to Using INPC (Indiana Network for Patient Care) and Electronic Health Records (EHR) For Research at IU
• A Guide to Using HCUP (Healthcare Cost & Utilization Project) Data at IU
• A Guide to Using Climate Data for Research
• A Guide to Using AllofUs at IU

The IURDC is dedicated to expanding the Featured Data Resources collection, with several additional modules currently in development. New courses will be listed here. If you are aware of significant data resources suitable for reuse, and believe they could benefit from the development of a dedicated course, please contact us at iurdc@iu.edu to discuss further details.
