Data Services include assistance across GW in data management, creation, visualization, and analysis in support of all aspects of the research, teaching, and learning workflows. If you need help finding data on a specific topic, refer to our subject guides and expert librarians. We offer support, training, and consultations both online and in person in all of these topics.

If you're working with administrative data, such as student grades, enrollment records, course evaluations, financial aid details, or HR information, visit GW Information Technology’s Data Governance website for policies, best practices, and tools to support secure and ethical data use.

If you're managing research data, including datasets collected or generated through research projects (e.g., survey responses, lab measurements, interview transcripts, or observational logs), explore our research data services for guidance on data management plans, repository options, and responsible sharing.
