• CUAHSI Data Publishing Program: Get Your Data Across the Finish Line

  • Are you sitting on a nearly finished dataset that just needs a push to be published and shared? CUAHSI invites you to join an offering of our 3-week cohort program designed to help researchers clear the “last mile” of data publishing. In addition to completing the program and having a finished or nearly finished data publication, you will receive a 25th Anniversary CUAHSI Hoodie to attend all sessions and provide your feedback for improving this offering to future users.

    Over the course of five guided sessions across three weeks (1–3 hours per week), you’ll get:

    • Step-by-step training on best practices for preparing and publishing scientific data in HydroShare.
    • Structured working time with goal setting and support to move your dataset forward.
    • Peer encouragement from a motivated cohort facing the same challenges.
    • Explanations and examples of how data publishing in HydroShare fulfills grant funder requirements.

    By the end of the program, you’ll have the tools, confidence, and momentum to make your data openly available and citable. As an attendee of the third iteration of this program, we will ask you to complete a survey and join a short listening session at the end to provide feedback on the program and identify improvements.

    This program is limited to 30 spots, which will be filled with eligible* participants on a first-come, first-served basis. To join the cohort, please complete this form by October 2, 2026.

    * Eligible participants should have a dataset that is near or ready for publication, be available to attend all sessions, and commit to providing feedback on the program through a survey.
