The Canadian Tri-agency is beginning to require that researchers submit a data management plan (DMP) when submitting their funding applications to demonstrate how they plan to collect, organize, analyze, store, preserve, and share (when applicable) their data over the course of a project. DMPs are rapidly becoming foundational to research excellence, and it is crucial that researchers learn to implement data management planning into their research workflows. Join Kevin Read, Research Data Management Librarian, for a workshop where attendees will learn about DMPs and develop a draft outline of a DMP for their own research project.
