The  ICPSR Summer Program is offering workshops this year focused on data
curation and disclosure risk in data. Please click on the course titles
below for full descriptions and information on enrolling.

Curating and Managing Research Data for
Re-use<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/sumprog/courses/0149>,
July 29-August 2, 2013 (New version of Applied Data Science course offered
in 2012). This five-day workshop will explore and apply the concepts and
benefits of life cycle principles for data curation, from preparing data
for archiving to optimizing data for reuse. An ICPSR social science dataset
will serve as a case study and participants will track the dataset as it
makes its way through the ICPSR data pipeline. Emphasis will be placed on
hands-on exercises demonstrating curation practices and on small group
discussions for sharing local experiences and learning from others.

Assessing and Mitigating Disclosure Risk: Essentials for Social
Scientists<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/sumprog/courses/0115>,
August 5-8, 2013. This course will address ways researchers and data
managers can safeguard respondent confidentiality in shared data, including
public-use vs. restricted-use files, online analysis systems with automatic
disclosure protection controls, and tools to assess and document disclosure
risk.
