2025-02-19 13:00 - 15:00 (Europe/London)
*For UoR staff*
Many public funders of research require researchers to submit a data management plan (DMP) as part of a grant application, detailing what data will be collected in the proposed project, how data will be managed, and how and where data will be preserved and made available to others when the project concludes. Whether a funder requires it or not, if you use data in your research, you should have a DMP for your project. Writing a DMP can help you plan and execute research effectively, curate data for maximum utility, identify and manage risks, and ensure resource needs are appropriately costed.
This 2 hour course will offer practical guidance on developing an effective DMP for a grant application, and how to make best use of a DMP in your day to day research. Information about data management planning tools and resources to help you will be provided.
The objectives of this course are:

Learn how to write a data management plan for a grant application or research project.
Identify the core components of a data management plan and the key considerations to address in the plan.
Find out about resources and where to get help.
