Recent Enhancements, News, and Activities

  • Development status: The requirements document has been finalized. Our developers are working on the new administrative features. We’re working with a UI specialist at Purdue and a design firm in Virginia on the design of the interface.
  • DMPTool webinar series: The first webinar, an introduction to the DMPTool, was presented on May 28. There were over 140 registrants who attended. It’s likely that a good many more actually attended as some groups met and called in using a shared phone. The slides and recording, as well as the schedule of upcoming webinars, are available here:
