<i>This poster was presented at the 2016 Research Data Access and Preservation (RDAP) Summit in Atlanta, GA</i><div><i><br></i></div><div><p> Up to this point, research data
management efforts have been concentrated in comparatively large, resource-rich
institutions. However, as smaller institutions, especially smaller
university libraries, begin to build research data management programs,
increasingly diverse teams of practitioners will be needed to support those
programs. For example, despite the robustness of its grant support
research programs, Carnegie Mellon (CMU) has a small library – both in terms of
funding and staffing. Because of these limited resources, the
establishment of a research data management program required not only the
appointment of a data services librarian, but the creation of a new, informal
team featuring library staff members previously unaffiliated with the data
management role, faculty researchers, campus units unaffiliated with the
library, and service providers.</p></div>
