The getting started piece
Low hanging fruit
Can you leverage existing
expertise within the library or
at your institution?
Types of opportunities
Long term projects
What do you need to know
more about and how do you
get that information?

Erin & Heather - I dont know if
you have had a chance to
meet/speak with...our REDCap
Application Administrator (...) [we]
are looking at ways to provide
formal/structured
training/education of REDCap, not
just to the researchers and their
staff, but also to expand into the
academic arenas of the university.
Heather and Erin - Great to
connect...and find out more about
your work and share about mine as
well. I am very interested in potential
collaborations for training/education,
etc. given we may be targeting some
of the same groups (...) lets keep the
discussion going about ways we can
best reach the research community
and beyond...
Great to meet with you as well -
we look forward to collaborating! A
couple action items that we can
move forward with  1) developing
a matrix/comparison of data
capture tools available to
IUSM/IUPUI groups, 2) developing
a tutorial to help researchers run
reports for clinical trial data using
REDCap, and 3) setting up a [space]
where [people] can come to us
(and other relevant partners) with
data problems.

Ultimately, I hope to
cultivate and develop
a team that provides
data services.
Any questions ?
