This paper looks at problems encountered with managing data for large interdisciplinary research projects with data being collected at multiple universities. Data on animal husbandry may be collected on paper at one university and entered into a SAS file using a SAS/Intrnet application, DNA analysis carried out at a collaborating university may be spit out of laboratory equipment as a spreadsheet, behavioral measures may be entered into an SPSS system file in another building on campus. In order for all of this data to be analyzed together, the files are converted into SAS data tables and managed as one database from the project office.
