Over the last year, as part of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research's Research Computing Initiative, the Data Management Task Force (DMTF) assessed the current state of Research Data Management (RDM) at CU-Boulder, using surveys, review of peer institutions, and synthesis of existing data lifecycle models.
