Abstract:Transportation research organizations must implement a number of funder requirements around technology transfer, data sharing, and public access to research outputs. Further, the practice of scientific research in the digital age is fostering other changes such as the global movement to open science. Tech transfer, data sharing, public access, and open science all can lead to exciting and innovative collaborations in global transportation research. However, these many of these practices are new or only recent additions to transportation research program workflows. These new practices require new skills or team members be added to research programs. Program managers are right to wonder: “Which practices will have the greatest impact on furthering research coordination and accelerating tech transfer?”
Data Curation, a lifecycle approach to research data management (RDM), offers many practices to improve research coordination, collaboration, and technology transfer. For example, creating data management plans (DMP) at the beginning of the research planning process can greatly enhance research coordination. A robust DMP serves as a living knowledge management document for the research team, making it much easier to weather changes in project personnel or technology. Further, a good DMP can satisfy funder requirements!
