The Collaborative Archive & Data Research Environment (CADRE<http://iuni.iu.edu/resources/cadre>) project is accepting fellowship applications until May 31st. CADRE is an IMLS-funded project that provides sustainable, affordable, and standardized data and text mining services for library-licensed big data sets, as well as open and non-consumptive data sets too large or unwieldy to work within existing research library environments.


CADRE Fellows<http://iuni.iu.edu/resources/cadre/fellowship-program> will receive early access to free cloud-computing resources and big bibliometric datasets—and gain the opportunity to travel to ISSI 2019<https://www.issi2019.org/> in Rome this fall with full travel support.


CADRE aims to provide academic researchers with a secure and easily accessible cloud-based platform for standardized sets of large academic library data resources. In an effort to understand how to better address our users’ needs, CADRE is working to bring together communities of libraries, researchers, and data providers. The fellowship program allows us to form and cultivate relationships with each of those groups and receive critical feedback for developing the CADRE platform.


About the fellowship

Fellows may form research teams consisting of graduate students, librarians, and faculty from any U.S. or non-U.S. university, so please inform your colleagues of this opportunity.


As a CADRE Fellow, you will receive technical support for your project and training on the CADRE platform. You will also gain early access to cloud-computing resources and big bibliometric datasets, such as Web of Science and Microsoft Academic Graph. However, applicants who want to access Web of Science data on the platform must be affiliated with an institution that has licensed this data. Please contact the CADRE team if you have questions about licensing at your institution. Applicants at any institution may propose a project using Microsoft Academic Graph.


Additionally, up to two members from six fellowship research teams will receive full travel support for ISSI 2019 at Sapienza University of Rome from Sept. 2 to 5 this year, including airfare, hotel stay, and conference registration.


You can read more about the CADRE project here<http://iuni.iu.edu/resources/cadre> and find more information about the CADRE Fellowship Program here<http://iuni.iu.edu/resources/cadre/fellowship-program>.


You should submit CADRE Fellow proposals<http://iuni.iu.edu/resources/cadre/fellowship-proposal-form> by May 31.



Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions!
