Facilitators at each table will provide background context and prompt participants to share ideas, concerns, and requirements related to that topic and record these on paper/whiteboards.

Table Topics:

1. Research Data Lifecycle and Organization – Understanding how researchers organize, manage, and plan for data throughout its lifecycle
2. Tags, Dashboards, and Alerts – Exploring how researchers could use tagging, dashboards, and alerts to organize, monitor, and manage their data across storage services
3. Storage Tiers, Archiving, and Data Movement – Discussing current approaches and needs around moving, archiving, and managing data across storage services
4. Access, Roles, and Data Continuity – Discussing access needs, responsibilities, and maintaining access to data over time
