Better Research V: Tips and Tricks for Writing an Actionable Data Management Plan

Better Research V: Tips and Tricks for Writing an Actionable Data Management Plan In-Person / Online

U.S. Federal funders, and many private funders, require making data associated with grants available for further research. Grant proposals may require data management plans (or Data Management and Sharing plans) that describe how the proposal will meet those requirements.

Need to write a data management plan? Join this workshop to ensure your grant proposal addresses federal guidelines. We will use the DMPTool, an online (and Harvard-customized) tool for crafting funder-specific and actionable data management plans. This will be an interactive working session, so please come prepared to work individually or with others on your team. 

This workshop hosted by Countway Library is open to all researchers and scholars interested in meeting the data management requirements of various federal funding agencies.
