Why Join Our Network?
The CDRN is run by a voluntary steering group and emerged from a need we all identified to:
- improve confidence on data and research related skills and expertise in the sector;
- to share good practice and experience of interacting with data and research issues;
- and to offer a network of peer support and collegiality.
We want to protect collegiality, support and practice and we want to be able to share these freely with colleagues in publicly-funded institutions, or sole traders and limited companies that need help to deliver data and research, as much of this work is going out of house post-COVID-19.
