Building Research Innovation at Community Colleges - Research Data Management (BRICCs-RDM) is a unique conference that leverages the growing BRICCs community to explore research data management practices that support the growing cyberinfrastructure (CI) landscape and understand how RDM can be used to advance CI-enabled scientific use-cases in academic research. During this conference, organizers hope to highlight the work done by different stakeholders, and help the community learn from these efforts. The conference seeks to develop clear strategies to ensure support and access from all stakeholder communities who produce and consume data on CI resources and inform RDM practices at campus, regional, and national levels to facilitate technological advances and innovation in research.

 BRICCs workshops bring together a vibrant community of stakeholders, ranging from R1 universities to smaller four-year schools and community colleges, to learn about current problems, foster collaborations, facilitate solutions, and present conclusions to the broader research community. The approach serves as a cooperative space for discourse regarding challenges in the progression of CI adoption in educational and research settings. The RDM conference brings this community together to discuss Research Data Management practices.
