The Purdue University Research Repository (PURR, http://purr.purdue.edu) uses HUBzero to provide a free, online research data collaboration platform and data management service platform for the Purdue researchers. Funding agencies like The National Science Foundation have begun requiring that researchers describe in their grant proposals how they will manage and share the data that will be produced in their research. The White House’s Office for Science and Technology Policy has directed federally funded research agencies with budgets over 100 million dollars to ensure that funding recipients make their research output free and accessible online. Purdue researchers can include PURR in their data management plans, invite collaborators to work with them in private projects on PURR, and publish datasets that can be cited using Digital Object Identifiers (DOI).

This poster will explore Purdue's data repository service model including its service definition, governance, roles and responsibilities, workflows, policies, and support, in addition to the functional role of HUBzero. Support for the entire research data lifecycle – from the creation of datasets to their long-term digital preservation and eventual reuse – will be provided including an overview of the project functionality and dataset publication that was developed for PURR.
