Abstract
Developing a robust research data infrastructure and implementing effective data management protocols are critical for any scientific endeavor. These practices not only ensure compliance with funding agency requirements, but also promote transparency and openness in science. Planning ahead will save time, resources, and many headaches. Adhering to best practices will result in high quality data that are organized, labeled and accurate, allowing data to be easily shared, understood and used by others.
This presentation will provide best practices and practical guidance for how to successfully manage your human subjects’ quantitative data from project inception to completion. It will go through four crucial steps to be implemented through the life cycle of the project to support data analysis, sharing and archiving: planning, data documentation, database setup and data cleaning.

Lorey Wheeler, Ph.D.
MAP Academy director
Lorey Wheeler, Ph.D., is the director of the MAP Academy. Her research interests broadly focus on the promotion of Latino youth adjustment, including outcomes related to interpersonal relationships, academic and career aspirations and attainment, externalizing and internalizing problems, and physical health. Grounded in cultural-ecological and developmental perspectives, her work addresses macro forces (e.g., gender and culture) and proximal contexts (e.g., families, workplaces, schools), and the mechanisms by which these are linked to youth adjustment.
A second focus of her research pertains to statistical models used to answer questions about complex ecological, developmental and relational phenomena, and the translation of these methods into tools useful to developmental, family and preventive-intervention scientists.
