The document summarizes a presentation by the UC Curation Center on supporting UC research data management. The UC Curation Center helps ensure the long-term preservation of and access to UC's digital research outputs. They are developing tools and services to help researchers at all stages of the research lifecycle, from creating data management plans to publishing, preserving, and sharing data. Their goal is to engage researchers early, prioritize initiatives, provide flexible solutions, and collaborate widely to develop sustainable support for UC research data management.
