The IU Data Storage Finder is a tool that can help you plan how to store your data while you are creating and accessing it during the course of your research project period. It asks a questions about your data, and filters the available IU storage options for where your data can be stored based on your answers. Please note that this tool is not designed to point toward solutions for sharing the data needed to validate your findings and satisfy funder requirements.

IUSM has a variety of storage platforms available for research data.  The amount of data, the approximate length of time the data needs to be stored, access needs, and data security needs (as defined by the funder and/or IU's data classification level) are factors in determining the best storage option for your data.
