Statement of Purpose

The MSU Data Hub is a campus-wide research data infrastructure service funded through the National Science Foundation Campus Cyberinfrastructure Program (award #2429466) and developed through a partnership among the MSU Institute for Cyber-Enabled Research (ICER), IT Services, MSU Libraries, and MSU Commons.

The Data Hub provides MSU researchers with a reliable, centrally managed platform for storing, sharing, and archiving large research datasets. It is designed to support data-intensive research across disciplines, facilitate collaboration within and beyond MSU, and make research data available for future reuse. The Data Hub integrates with MSU’s research computing infrastructure and MSU Commons to support the FAIR principles of findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability.

The Data Hub is intended for the entire MSU scholarly community, providing researchers with infrastructure that reduces the cost and complexity of managing large datasets and allows them to focus on their research.
