Writing a Data Management Plan (Research Staff Development Opportunity)

Many public funders of research require applicants to submit a data management plan (DMP) or Technical Plan as part of their 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 after 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, 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.
