Invitation to Join Trustworthy Data Working Group

In February 2020, Trusted CI will launch a new Trustworthy Data Working Group. With the recent renewal by NSF, Trusted CI is focusing each year on a new challenge to NSF science, and this working group represents our inaugural effort for 2020. The group will survey science projects to learn about data security concerns and practices. We will analyze the survey results and develop guidance for science projects and cyberinfrastructure developers, including references to existing resources. We will then publish the survey results, along with the analysis and guidance, as a freely-available report by the end of 2020, and we will share the results in a Trusted CI webinar and in other venues.

To form this working group, Trusted CI is collaborating with the four NSF Big Data Innovation Hubs, the NSF CI CoE Pilot, the Ostrom Workshop on Data Management and Information Governance, the NSF Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), the Indiana Geological and Water Survey, the Open Storage Network, and other interested community members. Participation in the working group is open to all.
