What is a Data Management Plan and Why Do I Need One? - Jun. 23, 2022

This workshop is intended to provide a basic overview of Data Management Plans (DMPs), a tool often used to lay a foundation for good research data management practices through the life of a research project and beyond. This workshop will cover a basic overview of the components of a typical data management plan and share resources available to support researchers and their teams to get started.

Starting later this year, DMPs may be required for certain Tri-Agency opportunities. More information about Tri-Agency requirements will be available as these funding opportunity details are released later in 2022 and 2023.  This workshop will not address the specific Tri-Agency requirements for data management plans, as the details have not yet been released.

Speakers:

Dylanne Dearborn, Research Data Management Coordinator, University of Toronto Libraries.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Describe why managing research data is important
• Identify common elements often included in data management plans
• Locate resources and supports for developing a DMP
