Describe the research project

The research project description should contain the following information:

• Who: project personnel (principal investigator, researchers, technicians, others)
• Where: location and description of study site or sites
• When: range of dates for the project
• Why: rational for the project (abstract)
• How: description of project methods
  Other useful information might include the project title, the overarching project (if any), institution(s) involved, and source of funding.

Description Rationale

The project description provides essential background information and context for the dataset.
