The Researcher Toolkit is designed to help UW-Madison faculty, staff, and student researchers navigate the local research resources available to assist with each phase of their research project, from planning to publishing and close-out. To do this, the Toolkit aggregates and organizes our local campus research support resources in order to make it easier to discover and access the help that researchers need
The Toolkit is organized around the research data lifecycle. Users can navigate through the stages of the lifecycle to find highlighted resources that are particularly relevant to each stage as well as tailored lists of all available resources that may be useful.
