Description: It depends! We all know this statement; it applies to research administration data, analysis, and data literacy also.  We all receive(d) questions or inquiries from supervisors, PIs, and other stakeholders.  We all, to some extent, had to ask ourselves where to we even start or begin to answer question(s). The section of the ORA series on data literacy will try to focus on how to assess a question or inquiry and how to respond to it. There are obviously many different scenarios and this section will try to focus on some general examples and show how to best address them. 

Learning Objectives:
  • What is the actual question or inquiry and its context?
    What data is available? Where will it come from?
  • Who controls access?
  • What are coverage gaps, biases, and quality issues?
