You have outstanding transportation research data at your fingertips!

 

But do you know how to get that data into the hands of those who might need it, especially when it comes to public access?

 

If these concepts interest you, TRB is hosting a one-hour webinar on Wednesday, April 20, 2022 from 2:00-3:00 PM Eastern titled "Managing and Sharing Research Data for Public Access." 
 

The webinar will feature research findings from NCHRP Research Report 936: Guide to Ensuring Access to the Publications and Data of Federally Funded Transportation Research and will provide practical advice on sharing research data in pursuit of public access goals within the transportation sphere.

 

Presenters Leighton Christiansen (U.S. Department of Transportation) and Bill McLeod (Transportation Research Board) will identify best practices for data management and will discuss strategies and tools for sharing research in pursuit of public access goals. They will also review how the transportation research databases TRID and ROSA P are being used to index and locate transportation research datasets.

 

There is no fee (for state DOT employees) to attend this webinar, however, be advised that this event does not provide continuing education credits and pre-registration is required. Translation: Once the webinar starts, you will be unable to register!
