The Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy mandates that educational institutions develop institutional strategies for the handling, deposit, and management of research data. The following strategy statement addresses the key elements required. Such strategies are imperative for protecting the public, the institution, and researchers against potential harm and liabilities arising from accidental disclosure of sensitive information that is often obtained during the course of a research project.
This institutional strategy articulates our available RDM services, and outlines how our institution will support our research community when implementing RDM best practices in their work.
Research data management (RDM) refers to the processes applied through the lifecycle of a research project to guide the collection, documentation, storage, sharing and preservation of research data (Tri-Agency RDM Policy FAQ: What is RDM?).
RDM implementation requires representation and resourcing from the Research Office, researchers, IT, Human Research Ethics Board, and the Library.
The following areas for action all require designated personnel to carry out the duties required.
