Arguments for the FAIR principles have mostly been based on appeals to values. However, the work of onboarding diverse researchers to make efficient and effective implementations of FAIR requires different appeals. In our recent effort to transform the institution into a FAIR University by 2025, here we report on the experiences of the Community of Data Driven Insights (CDDI). We describe these experiences from the perspectives of a data steward in social sciences and a data scientist, both of whom have been working in parallel to provide research data management and data science support to different research groups. We initially identified 5 challenges for FAIR implementation. These perspectives show the complex dimensions of FAIR implementation to researchers across disciplines in a single university.
