The Ottawa Data Champions Team organized an online workshop series on Research Data Management for biomedical researchers from September to December 2022. The weekly sessions included both generalized (e.g., FAIR Principles) and specialized training (e.g., Indigenous health data, sharing genetic sequence data) to address the diverse needs of the medical research community.

The workshop program has been developed to discuss the new policies, tools, and best practices in research data management and to address the challenges of the Canadian Tri-agencies’ new policy. The new policy will require:

1. Researchers to submit data management plans (DMPs) as part of grant proposals.
2. Research institutions to develop and make public RDM strategies.
3. A goal to implement data deposits of funded research.

Participants

The workshop was designed for researchers, reviewers, graduate students, postdocs, residents, and librarians involved in biomedical research.

Registration

The webinar series is free and consists of weekly sessions from September to December, with fourteen sessions in total. The registration for each session will be open 3 weeks before the event. The registration for the first sessions will be open on August 22nd.
