Connecting academics with research questions to creative data sources.
Data Resource Exchange
DRE is a research incubator where academics can virtually assemble to find collaborators for current and future research projects. Presently, the process of identifying collaborators is restricted to your academic social network. DRE expands your network through a crucial element in research: data.
Data Resource Exchange Mission
DRE’s mission is to enable academics to accelerate their research and its impact by providing an incubator-like virtual community where ideas and research can grow. The key to this is connecting academics who have research questions to other academics who have data that could help answer those questions. Currently, it is difficult to find a match between data seekers and data holders. DRE will act as a “dating site for your data,” where academics can fill out a “request” profile and use that to match with other academics with “data” profiles.
