Session 7 - DMP Assistant

A data management plan, or DMP, is a document that outlines what you will do with your data during and after a research project. As required by many funding agencies, the Canadian Tri-agencies (CIHR, SSHRC, and NSERC) released a new policy that will require researchers to submit data management plans (DMPs) as part of grant proposals. In this session, Dr. Alisa Rod and Shiloh Williams will discuss the main aspects of the DMP Assistant Tool. The DMP Assistant is a national, online, bilingual data management planning tool developed to assist researchers in preparing data management plans (DMPs).

Learning objectives:

1. Define terms: data management plan, research data lifecycle, metadata
2. Describe how to use the Alliance DMP Assistant tool
3. Locate Alliance DMP templates and exemplars
4. Describe the Tri-Agency RDM Policy DMP requirement
