Register at: Course: Creating a Data Management Plan (DMP) (AHRC and ESRC focus) (ncl.ac.uk)

This hour-long workshop is aimed at research staff who would like to learn how to create a data management plan for funding applications and projects.

This workshop is to focus on AHRC and ESRC

Workshop Overview

Research funders are increasingly requiring evidence of adequate and appropriate provisions for data management and curation in new grant applications. This workshop will introduce how to create a data management plan (DMP) to communicate a project’s approach to managing research data to the funder and collaborators.  This is also beneficial for the project as it establishes the framework and resources to support researchers and the data, which translates to better time management and lower costs during project work.

Objectives

At the end of the workshop participants will be able to:

• Understand the wider research data management landscape
• Appreciate funder DMP requirements
• Define what to include in a DMP
• Be able to develop a project specific DMP
• Know where to find research data management support

Programme

The workshop programme is as follows:

• Introduction to the research data lifecycle
• DMP structure outlined
• Discussion of themes and headings
• Other considerations
• Support available

Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes
