NM SMART Grid Center Data Roadshow at NMSU

The RDS will provide three training workshops for NM EPSCoR researchers as part of EPSCoR FAIR Policy to generate and document DOIs from data or code produced by NSF-funded projects. Through this workshop series, the RDS team aims to train EPSCoR researchers previously identified in our analyses as authors or co-authors of data or code that have yet to be reported or submitted to EPSCoR digital repositories.
