The Sheridan Libraries have been awarded $20 million for data curation from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

The award, which was announced last Thursday, will provide funding towards the Data Conservancy project.

The principal investigator on the project was Sayeed Choudhury, an associate dean at the library and the Hodson Director of the Digital Research and Curation Center, who called the award “an opportunity to define a blueprint for research libraries in the digital age.”

The project will be developed over the next five years to create an infrastructure that will better manage digital information.
