This briefing will share updates on ongoing work to connect local repositories with national research data platforms. The University of Utah is integrating its institutional data repository, Hive, with the National Data Platform (NDP) and related cross-campus data coordination efforts with a National Science Foundation Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) grant and other initiatives. The initiative focuses on building integration pathways that align local metadata, APIs, and workflows with national discovery and storage services so that institutional datasets can be found more easily and reused across systems. The briefing will highlight early use cases, lessons learned, and some of the technical and organizational challenges. It will also invite discussion on how institutional repositories can more actively participate in the national research data ecosystem and contribute to a more connected, interoperable network of data resources.
