Join us to explore the practice of data sharing from disciplinary perspectives across the Tri-Agency funding spectrum. Dr. Christy Morrissey (Biology), Dr. Jim Clifford (History), and Dr. Daniel Fuller (Community Health & Epidemiology) will each discuss experiences, challenges, and opportunities related to data sharing, with a discussion and Q & A to follow.
