Are you sitting on a nearly finished dataset that just needs a push to be published and shared? CUAHSI invites you to join a 3-week cohort program designed to help researchers clear the “last mile” of data publishing. Upon completion of all sessions and providing your feedback on ways to improve the program for future users, you’ll come away with a finished or nearly finished data publication, and you will receive a CUAHSI 25th Anniversary hoodie.

Over the course of five guided sessions in three weeks (1–3 hours per week), you’ll get:  

  • Step-by-step training on best practices for preparing and publishing scientific data in HydroShare.  
  • Structured working time with goal setting and support to move your dataset forward.  
  • Peer encouragement from a motivated cohort facing the same challenges.  

Explanations and examples of how data publishing in HydroShare fulfills grant funder requirements.

By the end of the program, you’ll have the tools, confidence, and momentum to make your data openly available and citable.  As a program attendee, we will ask you to complete a survey at the end to provide feedback on the program and identify improvements.

This program is limited to 30 spots. Eligible participants should have a dataset that is near or ready for publication and be available to attend most or all sessions; those interested should apply to participate. Participation will be confirmed on a rolling basis as applications are reviewed. Accepted participants also commit to providing feedback on the program through a survey.

Registration closes October 2, 2026.
