Software & Licenses

See a list of software available through LATIS.

Data Sharing

The Data Repository for the University of Minnesota (DRUM) offers curation, preservation, and public sharing for data from UMN researchers. Data from human participants is accepted as long as files are de-identified and there is explicit mention of sharing in the consent form (see the Human Participant Data Policy).

LATIS can assist you in preparing data for deposit in DRUM or in selecting other appropriate repositories that offer mediated data access for sensitive or identifiable data.
