The data management component of DMAC is housed in the Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) and analytical support of the DMAC is made possible through the UNC-Department of Statistics.

The DMAC will integrate UNC-SRP data across research projects to understand risks of inorganic arsenic exposure

Our three major aims are to:

  • Develop and coordinate the UNC-SRP Data Management Plan, including data life cycle management protocols in accordance with the data sharing plan, for all UNC-SRP research projects.
  • Facilitate high quality, project-specific research activities by implementing state-of the art bioinformatic and biostatistical methods including analysis of high dimensional -omics data, biological pathway analyses and visualizations, and geostatistical modeling and visualization tools.
  • Integrate UNC-SRP data across research projects to understand risks of inorganic arsenic exposure and mechanisms underlaying inorganic arsenic-associated metabolic disease/diabetes.

By making data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR), the DMAC will maximize the impact and optimize the path to identifying high impact insights into metabolic disease/diabetes and inorganic arsenic exposure and remediation evaluations.
