Data Dropoff Workflow

This page outlines our approach to data sharing internally, in support of eventual external data sharing.

Workflow Steps

1. Data is collected by the project/core responsible for that data collection.
2. Raw data is to be provided to the TDM core for warehousing and eventually cleaning/quality control as soon as possible to data collection as is reasonable (e.g., within a month).
3. Each Project/Core will be provided a dropoff link to upload data to the TDM Core.
   1. The frequency of data upload depends on the volume/workflow pre-established by the data collection team and TDM Core.
   2. Each project/core is encouraged to retain additional raw and processed data backups in case needed.
4. Next steps with the data are based on consultation with the project and core.
   1. For example, some projects/cores may have established procedures for proecssing data and may be capable of echoing scored data. Others may need processing support from the Tech and Data Management Core.
5. After data is initially curated in the context of a data release, each project/core will receive a data quality report capturing the state of the data provided.
   1. Any issues noted will require discussion and collaboration to resolve.
6. Share finalized dataset within the data folder of the frozen/closed data release folder on Box/Sharepoint.
