Without sufficient data infrastructure and attention to the stewardship and preservation of digital data, data may become inaccessible or lost. This is particularly problematic for data generated by sponsored research projects where the focus is on innovation rather than infrastructure, and support for stewardship and preservation may be short-term. In this presentation, Dr. Fran Berman discusses sustainability, infrastructure, and data, and explores the opportunities and challenges of creating a viable ecosystem for the data on which current and future research and innovation increasingly need.\u003Cbr \/\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EDr. Francine Berman is the Edward P.
